How do frogs survive in winter?

Answer 1

Quite easily actually... Its a misconception that frogs burrow deep in the mud, since they would suffocate to death. Frogs burrow just below the mud at the bottom of lakes. Their breathing and heartbeat not only slow down to nil, but their skin can actually absorb oxygen. Not only that, but their bodies contain a form of biochemical antifreeze that prevents the frog from dying. Once weather conditions become favorable, they simply thaw out!!

ectothermic

Answer 2

Different species have different strategies for surviving winter. Northern leopard frogs, for example, pass the winter at the bottom of deeper lakes, far beneath the ice. They settle quietly on the lake bottom in deep water. They stay concealed behind a log or other debris to escape predators. Other types of frogs may hibernate under leaf litter.

Frogs survive winter by hibernating. They burrow into mud at the bottom of ponds or water bodies and enter a state of reduced metabolism to conserve energy. Some species may also seek refuge in moist areas on land to survive the cold temperatures.
