Frozen Frogs Are Basically Real-Life Ice Zombies

Get this: some frogs literally freeze solid in winter—like, heart stops, no breathing, the works—and then just thaw out and hop away come spring. Scientists finally cracked how they pull off this wild trick: their bodies pump out natural antifreeze (glucose and urea) before freezing, which protects their cells from damage. When it warms up, their organs reboot in a set order, and they’re back to business like nothing happened. Nature is straight-up bonkers! #Science #frogs #nature
