This frog cracks its own toe bones and shoves the bones through their feet to create claws when it feels threatened.

The African bullfrog lives in the savanna of Africa, where it gets very hot and dry. When a frog is out of the water, mucus on its skin helps it breathe by dissolving oxygen from the air. So, in order to prevent its skin from drying out in the hot African climate, the African bullfrog buries itself 6 to 8 inches underground. It then creates a mucus membrane, which hardens into a cocoon. The frog can stay in the cocoon for up to 7 years while it waits for rain. When rain does arrive, the moisture softens the mucus sac, waking the frog, and signaling the start of the rainy season the time when the frog breeds and when it is the most active. https://www.businessinsider.com/these-7-animals-have-crazy-adaptations-to-help-them-to-survive-in-their-habitats-2016-7#african-bullfrogs-create-mucus-homes-to-survive-the-dry-season-4]]> 2020-10-01 14:54:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferostarch/oi6b1z3z5pg9l1n2/wish/794917692 https://padlet.com/jenniferostarch/oi6b1z3z5pg9l1n2/wish/794958351 2020-10-01 15:03:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferostarch/oi6b1z3z5pg9l1n2/wish/794958351 https://padlet.com/jenniferostarch/oi6b1z3z5pg9l1n2/wish/794964676 The wood frog in the Medvednica mountain forest freezes itself to survive in the winter, their breath and heart both stop working, this allows the frog to survive temperatures as low as -80, to make this happen the frog produces a high amount of glucose up to 10 times the normal amount. In the spring they thaw out and "come back to life" businessinsider.com/these-7-animals-have-crazy-adaptations-to-help-them-to-survive-in-their-habitats-2016-7#wood-frogs-freeze-their-bodies-1]]> 2020-10-01 15:04:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferostarch/oi6b1z3z5pg9l1n2/wish/794964676 https://padlet.com/jenniferostarch/oi6b1z3z5pg9l1n2/wish/795093971 Up to 60 percent of the Alaskan Wood Frog’s body can freeze completely! In the Winter they must do this in order to survive the brutal Winters. 

The frogs’ hearts also stop beating, and they stop breathing as well! This adaptation- the ability to freeze themselves- allows them to withstand Winter temperatures as low as -80F. 

In order to survive these extremely cold temperatures the frogs must build up high concentrations of glucose (10x more than usual) in their organs & tissues. This then protects their organs from dying. ]]> 2020-10-01 15:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferostarch/oi6b1z3z5pg9l1n2/wish/795093971 https://padlet.com/jenniferostarch/oi6b1z3z5pg9l1n2/wish/796768206 Kangaroo Rats can survive in the desert without actually drinking water- instead they get all the water they need via moisture from seeds they eat. 

These ultra-tiny critters also have extremely powerful jumping abilities; they can jump up to nine feet high when faced against a predator! This quick & high jumping ability allows them to quickly escape snakes that might want to eat them.

In the icy waters of the Antarctic, most of the native fish have special proteins in their blood that act like antifreeze. The proteins bind to ice crystals, keeping them small to prevent the formation of fish popsicles.

Scientists thought that it was impossible to live that far into the ocean. The Tube Worms live in complete darkness surrounded by toxic gas and water. The creatures have been described as "bags of bacteria" with only hear t like structures and reproductive organs. The bacteria use Hydrogen Sulfide as an energy source to turn into carbohydrates.

They can detect how much light is being absorbed into the environment, then use that information to mimic it with their own pigments. They have 3 skin layers (yellow, red, and brown), which can be stretched in different ways to make unique colors and patterns. Their skin also has papillae, which let cuttlefish appear rigid, like coral. Together, these features allow cuttlefish to escape predators, as well as sneak up on unsuspecting prey. https://www.businessinsider.com/these-7-animals-have-crazy-adaptations-to-help-them-to-survive-in-their-habitats-2016-7
