Magnificent Frigate birds are very cute on the outside but don't let that fool you .The magnificent frigatebird is a large, lightly built seabird with brownish-black plumage, long narrow wings and a deeply forked tail. The male has a striking red gular sac
 (Links to an external site.) which he inflates to attract a mate. The female is slightly larger than the male and has a white breast and belly. Frigatebirds feed on fish taken in flight from the ocean's surface (often flying fish
 (Links to an external site.)), and sometimes indulge in kleptoparasitism
 (Links to an external site.), harassing other birds to force them to regurgitate their food. Frigate birds also help the enoviorment.

The bodies of wood frogs can be shades of brown, red, green, or gray, with females tending to be more brightly colored than males. Adults of this species are 1.5 to 3.25 inches (3.8 to 8.2 centimeters) in length.  their adaptive behavior  is that they have adapted to cold climates by freezing over the winter, During this time, they stop breathing and their hearts stop beating. Their bodies produce a special antifreeze substance over the winter,  that prevents ice from freezing within their cells, which would be deadly. Ice does form, however, in the spaces between the cells. When the weather warms, the frogs thaw and begin feeding and mating again.]]> 2022-01-24 20:51:14 UTC https://padlet.com/benjaminspreitzer1/1iuw9v97p9271hho/wish/2009795899
