Wood Frog

I suppose I should start this post by saying, "Sorry Peg"

It appears my photos of Frogs are not appreciated by my sister Peg. She has informed me that I must cease posting pictures of Frogs.

So I will apologise to Peggy, and because I have a 20 year plan to photograph every living creature that inhabit our little piece of paradise, I will from time to time, have a need to post a Frog picture.

The Wood Frog is a interesting species of frog. They hibernate in shallow burrows, well within the frost range and 70% of their bodies freeze for extended periods of time. The Laboratory for Ecophysiological Cryobiology,(Thats a bigger word than I should be allowed to use) are conducting research into the Wood Frogs ability to survive these periods of freezing episodes.

Sorry Peg!
