00:00Scientists can't explain how this animal does this.
00:02A black swallowtail butterfly just hatched in Indianapolis in the middle of winter.
00:07Wait, animals can do that?
00:09Here's the insane part.
00:10This caterpillar spent months frozen solid.
00:12We're talking completely crystallized, ice forming inside its cells.
00:16Most creatures would die instantly, but not this one.
00:19It produces a natural antifreeze made of glycerol that keeps it alive through sub-zero temperatures.
00:25And it gets even crazier.
00:26When spring finally arrives, it just thaws out like nothing happened and flies away.
00:32This butterfly literally has a superpower that lets it survive the unsurvivable.
00:36Save this and share with an animal lover.
