Explain A wood frog species in Alaska can survive being frozen

almost completely solid. In spring it thaws and becomes more
active. Wood frogs that live in warmer climates do not have this
trait. Explain how this trait relates to adaptation and speciation.

Wood frogs are found in the United States throughout the forests of Alabama and Northwest into Idaho. Wood frogs are the only frogs that live North of the Arctic Circle. Adults usually live in woodlands and lay in vernal pools.

Wood frogs live in a variety of habits, from forests to bogs to tundra. They hibernate on land and breed in water.

The Wooded frog does adapt in warmer climates by hibernating by nestling down into the leafy litter on the forest floor.
