How do frogs and toads survive in the winter?
They hibernate in burrows or bury themselves in mud. Frogs and toads are cold-blooded and their body processes slow down as the outside temperature drops. (This is why you sometimes find sluggish-acting toads on cool mornings in the spring.) Frogs’ bodies have some natural antifreeze built into them, but some kinds of frogs who live in especially cold climates can even survive being frozen solid.
