Frogs generally cannot handle living in saltwater environments. 🐸
The salinity in frogs' blood and cells isn't as densely packed as it is in saltwater. 🧂🌊If a frog lived in saltwater, the water would quickly spread over them. This, in turn, would bring upon their dehydration.
Dehydration is dangerous because the more dehydrated a frog is the shorter the distance it can cover in one jump.
A study found that Once dehydration had led the frogs to lose 30 percent of their body weight they stopped jumping entirely. 🐸

The gray tree frog hibernates in the winter by taking refuge in trees. It survives freezing temperatures by producing glycerol to "freeze" itself while maintaining interior metabolic processes at a very slow rate.

The gray tree frog's scientific name is Hyla versicolor, which comes from the Latin for "variable color." It is named for its ability to alter its skin color based on the time of day and surrounding temperature. The skin becomes much lighter at night and darker during the day.
@YardGoneWild Bugs and humidity, all I need 🤗
We enjoy sitting still in moist places, like under a rotting log, in a muddy place, underground, or in the crack of a rock.
