The Frog with a Heart-Stopping Trick
Surviving in colder climates can be a daunting challenge for warm-blooded animals. Yet, some amphibians adapt in remarkable ways to call these regions home. Take the tree frog, for example.
In a truly astonishing feat of adaptation, this tree frog’s heart stops when it freezes. This unique survival strategy allows the frog to endure harsh winters. When the weather warms up, the frog thaws and its heart resumes its rhythmic beating. Nature’s resilience is often nothing short of heart-stopping.
