Which fascinating fact is actually a fib?
- A wood frog spends winter chilling out — literally. When icy weather hits, the palm-sized amphibian quits breathing, its heart stops, and its body freezes nearly solid.
- In Missouri, these cold-loving frogs prefer to live in our hottest and driest habitats, like rocky, sun-drenched glades in the Ozarks.
- Green algae grows on wood frog eggs. The algae gets carbon dioxide and nutrients from the baby frogs. In return, the baby frogs get oxygen from the algae.
Answer: 2 (Wood frogs live in cool, shady forests.)
