00:00Ever wondered what it's like to freeze solid and then just thaw out like nothing happened?

00:07Well, meet the wood frog, the ultimate master of cryogenics.

00:12This little amphibian has a superpower that would make Captain America jealous.

00:18When winter hits, it doesn't just hibernate, it literally turns into a frog cycle.

00:24Its heart stops beating, its breathing ceases, and up to 70% of the water in its body turns to ice.

00:32So how does it pull off this incredible magic trick?

00:36Glucose. Its body floods its cells with sugar, acting as a natural antifreeze that protects its vital organs from turning into icy mush.

00:46Once spring arrives, it thaws out, its heart restarts, and it hops away to find a mate.

00:54It's not science fiction. It's just nature being awesome.
