i was taught that in grade 4. I always thought it was more messed up that they could freze, and then unthaw and be fine. that confused me because when ever you freeze a cell, the water in the cell expands and takes on a crystalin shape, which ruptures the cell membrane, killing the cell when it unthaws... thats why humans cant be frozen and revived. So how thiese frogs do it boggels my mind.
