  7. Wood Frog Facts • The North American Wood Frog belongs to a small group of animals that are freeze tolerant. As the temperature drops below freezing each winter, the Wood Frog finds a comfy spot on the forest floor, under some leaves or beneath a log. The frogs arm themselves with antifreeze to protect their body tissues. The antifreeze is really glucose, a natural body sugar . This prevents the formation of ice crystals just like windshield washer antifreeze does in a car.

  8. Wood Frog Facts (continued ) Wood frogs are found through most of Canada and are all over Manitoba . Wood frogs are brown in colour but can vary from olive green to almost black . They have a black triangle mask around their eyes . They grow to 2 ½ to 3 inches long . Wood frogs mate and lay eggs in the spring in temporary ponds that last long enough for the tadpoles to change to froglets – 8 to 10 weeks . Each female lays 1000 eggs in a round bunch on plants floating on top of the water . Wood frogs eat insects , worms and small animals without backbones . They are eaten by garter snakes , birds , and some mammals . Wood frogs make a sound like a duck. They are nick-named robberfrogs .
