form into adult frogs in eight to ten weeks.
The chorus frog is among the first frogs to emerge each spring. How frogs survive a winter is nothing short of a miracle. Most people think that frog’s over-winter buried in the mud at the bottom of lakes and ponds.
Research is now showing that this is not true for many frogs. The chorus frog over-winters on land under rocks, and logs near the ponds they call home.
Since they do not dig down below the frost line, these tiny amphibians will partially freeze. Something that until recently was thought to be impossible.
The over-wintering frogs go through a process where the water within each cell in their body is replaced with an anti-freeze like compound called glycol. While this reduces the temperature at which the cell will freeze, it does not stop the cell from freezing. The glycol does not form pointed ice crystals that will puncture the cell wall like water would, this allows for freezing to occur but without damage to
