Frogs can survive being frozen and thawed.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
7 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that frogs can survive being frozen and thawed?

Unclear. Peer-reviewed studies and reference works show that a small number of frog species, notably the wood frog and Cope's gray treefrog, tolerate whole-body freezing and thawing. None of the placed sources establishes that frogs generally can survive being frozen and thawed.
