Wood frogs have several adaptations that help them survive in their often harsh northern habitats. They can tolerate freezing temperatures, with the ability to freeze their bodies and enter a state of suspended animation during winter. Additionally, they possess a unique antifreeze protein that prevents ice from forming in their cells, allowing them to thaw and resume normal activity when temperatures rise. Their ability to camouflage in leaf litter also aids in predator avoidance.
