A Cryogenic Frog

A long time ago, I watched a documentary about the effects freezing temperatures had on the human body. From what I can remember, the scientists in this film discussed cryogenics and hypothesized whether this would work to freeze terminally ill patients until they could find a cure for whatever disease they had. It was determined that cryogenics wouldn’t work because when the body freezes, it crystalizes our tissues.

So I was amazed when I found this story about a little tree frog, who had the misfortune of freezing solid in an Australian freezer. The story wasn’t clear about where the frog was at the time of the accident - in a zoo or at someone’s home. But when he was removed and defrosted, he began to breathe.
