8 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. The North American Wood Frog belongs to a small group of animals that are freeze tolerant.

9 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 robber frogs.

10 Conclusion We hope you enjoyed learning about the Wood Frog. We found out that it sounds like a duck and it’s nickname is the Robber Frog. We had fun working on this project because it was somewhat challenging. We hope you enjoyed learning about the Wood Frog. We found out that it sounds like a duck and it’s nickname is the Robber Frog.
