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.
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 .
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.
