What's false? The photograph used to advance the claim is actually of a different species of frog.
What's True? A species of frog in Alaska can survive for weeks with up to two-thirds of their body water completely frozen.
The viral photograph displayed above does not show an Alaskan tree frog (since no such animal exists), nor does it show a wood frog. This widely-circulated image appears to be simply a garden ornament that has been covered with frost. The video below shows what an actual wood frog looks like as it freezes and thaws during the winter.
I have heard about this before. Incredible! Science and nature are pretty cool stuff.
yeah!!
Unfortunately while the fact is true, the image isn't. This is a cute photo but it is of a different frog.
