The Hibernating Wood Frogs

As much as human beings are wired to feel superior over other living creatures, you have to give credit where it’s due. Alaska’s wood frog’s survival instinct deserves a Pulitzer, a Nobel Peace Prize, and a Grammy all at once. How they can hibernate during winter and “resurrect” come springtime is purely amazeballs.

Most amphibians tend to go under in streams and ponds, but this kind chooses to stay on land during cold seasons where they tuck themselves in well under the forest floor leaves. This way, they are protected against the ice and ready to awaken when the time comes.
