selkirk Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 Has anybody heard about the frog that freeze solid every winter! Pretty cool stuff. They release a chemical into their cells that keeps the water from crystalizing kind of like an organic anti freeze. My sister had a prof. who brought one to a biology close, froze it, tapped it on the desk a few times to show it was solid then let it thaw out. Seems like that would be a better option, considering they can stay frozen for months at a time. Quote

Kitergal Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 Goldfish do that too!! We put goldfish in our pond, to help keep the icky green stuff from growing, and to give my cats something to play with....well they freeze every winter and come back to life every spring. Quote

Â You mean the surface of the pond freezes, right? Goldfish can't survive being frozen. Quote
Dru Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 It's a pretty easy home experiment. All you need is one goldfish, one ziplock bag of water, and a freezer. Â Goldfishsicles do not suffer from melting the way kiwi-strawberry-speach ones do. Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 Upon thawing, however, they swim about as well as melted popsicle. Quote
Kitergal Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 no seriously..they freeze...then they defrost and swim like nothing happened! pretty cool. Quote
