There are actually five species of frogs in North America that can freeze and survive. Two of these frogs are the spring peeper and the Western chorus frog. As temperatures dip below 32 degrees, these frogs start producing their own \u201cantifreeze\u201d to help preserve the most essential organs. Up to 70% of the frog\u2019s body can freeze, to the point that the heart stops pumping and the frog appears to be dead. Scientists still aren\u2019t sure how frozen frogs can wake up again, but once they thaw out and wake up, most frogs will go through a period of healing before they resume their normal lives.<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/threemileriver.org\/peeper_dighton.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-217 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/threemileriver.org\/species-mapping\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSC_5183_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"976\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/threemileriver.org\/species-mapping\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSC_5183_1.jpg 976w, https:\/\/threemileriver.org\/species-mapping\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSC_5183_1-300x246.jpg 300w, https:\/\/threemileriver.org\/species-mapping\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSC_5183_1-768x630.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-218 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/threemileriver.org\/species-mapping\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSC_5188-1024x754.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/threemileriver.org\/species-mapping\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSC_5188-1024x754.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/threemileriver.org\/species-mapping\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSC_5188-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/threemileriver.org\/species-mapping\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSC_5188-768x565.jpg 768w, https:\/\/threemileriver.org\/species-mapping\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/DSC_5188.jpg 1087w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unmistakable signs that spring has finally sprung.
