Question

How does a tree frog hibernate?

Answer 1

Some species of gray tree frogs in North America have an interesting trait, though. When they hibernate, their bodies produce a substance that prevents their blood from freezing. It is sort of a natural anti-freeze that lets the blood get sort of slushy without freezing, even when temperatures are substantially below the freezing point. At the same time, heartbeat and respiration become almost non-existent and the organs become dormant. When they warm up, the process is reversed and they start functioning normally again.

Answer 2

Explanation:

In the winter they hibernate under the leaf litter, logs, and rocks. How do gray treefrogs survive their winter hibernation above ground? Gray treefrogs have a high freeze tolerance, which means they can survive up to 80% of their body freezing during hibernation and then are able to thaw and hop away in the spring.
