Alaska Science Forum time capsule: Looking for a few good wood frogs

Note: This article was originally published 30 years ago, on Aug. 7, 1996. Brian Barnes and author Ned Rozell have since retired from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and scientists now know that the wood frog’s internal body temperature can dip to 0.6 degrees below zero Fahrenheit while overwintering. So the wood frogs are still out there, hopping around and readying for the long winter ahead!
