Back in Spring Wood Frog Tee · Brights

605 snowflakes, thawing into 244 leaves.

A wood frog drawn in snowflakes that turn into leaves from the feet up: an out-of-office message from a frog. The motto ends in a small ¹; the footnote underneath gives the proof and its source.

¹ In Alaska, wood frogs stay frozen up to 7 months, with no heartbeat and no breath, then thaw in spring. Larson et al., Journal of Experimental Biology, 2014

Fig. 6 of 11 in The Small Print, Deep Planet’s series of animals drawn from their own true stories, here in the Brights edition. For everyone who hibernates until March.

Watch the frog that freezes on Deep Planet.
