Imagine being frozen solid — no heartbeat, no breathing, ice forming inside your body — and then waking up weeks later.
The wood frog does exactly that every winter. 🐸❄️ Its body floods its cells with glucose, acting like a natural antifreeze and helping protect vital tissues from damage.
When spring arrives, it simply thaws out and hops away.
Could this incredible survival mechanism someday help scientists understand human cryopreservation?
