Can frogs hibernate?

Frogs hibernate. The frog's body temperature will be affected by the weather. When the weather gets cold in late autumn, frogs will hibernate in the water or caves, and then return to the water to breed when the weather gets warmer next spring.

Frogs are amphibians, and amphibians are cold-blooded. Their body temperature will be affected by the temperature, and as the temperature gets colder, their body temperature will gradually drop. When the temperature drops to a certain extent, the frog can't eat or move, and stays in sleep to avoid the cold, and then comes out to move after the ground temperature rises in the next spring. This is the reason why the frog hibernates. So hibernation is a survival method for animals to adapt to the cold external environment.

Frogs will not starve to death if they don't eat for a winter when they hibernate. Because they are already ready to hibernate: since summer, frogs have gradually accumulated nutrients, especially fat. In hibernation, the body has accumulated a lot of nutrients, and it looks like it will be obese. These accumulated nutrients are enough to meet the needs of the body during the whole hibernation process. Although a lot of nutrients are accumulated in the body, the hibernation period lasts for several months. How can it be enough?

It turns out that when animals hibernate, they can't eat or move, or they rarely move, so the number of breaths is reduced, the body temperature is also lowered, the blood circulation is slowed down, the metabolism is weak, and the nutrients consumed are relatively reduced, so the nutrients stored in the body are sufficient. When the nutrients stored in the body are almost used up, the hibernation period is over. Animals after hibernation are very thin. After waking up, they should swallow a lot of food to supplement nutrition and return to normal body as soon as possible.
