Frog bones form a ring when the frog is hibernating, just like trees do. Scientists can use these rings to figure out the age o f a frog

7. Interesting Facts about Frogs A frog completely sheds its skin about once a week. After it pulls off the old, dead skin, the frog usually eats it. The wood frog of North America actually freezes in the winter and is reanimated in the spring. When temperatures fall, the wood frog’s body begins to shut down, and its breathing, heartbeat and muscle movements stop. The water in the frog’s cells freezes and is replaced with glucose and urea to keep cells from collapsing. When there’s a thaw, the frog’s warms up, its body functions resume and it hops off like nothing ever happen ed. Follow us: @SmithsonianMag on Twitterurea@SmithsonianMag on Twitter
