00:00Imagine being frozen solid, your heart stopped, no brain activity, basically a frog cycle.
00:08Sounds like the end, right?
00:10Well, for the wood frog, it's just another Tuesday.
00:14This incredible little creature has a superpower straight out of a sci-fi movie.
00:20When winter hits, it doesn't run, it doesn't hide, it lets itself freeze.
00:26Up to 70% of the water in its body turns to ice.
00:31So, how does it pull off this magic trick?
00:34Its liver pumps out massive amounts of glucose, a type of sugar, which acts like a natural antifreeze for its vital cells, preventing them from bursting.
00:45Then, when spring arrives and things warm up, the frog thaws out, its heart restarts, and it just hops away like nothing happened.
00:55It literally comes back from the dead.
00:59Isn't nature just the wildest?
