    The amazing freezing frog.

    Not much amazes me these days - but this did!



    How the hell do they do that?!

    You don't read about that in the Bible. I found that as my studies progressed and we were learning about how ATP loses a phosphate ion to power the active sodium potassium pumps in the cells and how the cardiac cells use calcium to allow the sudden change in polarity I got to thinking that maybe 6 billion years wasn't long enough for that to have happened purely by random. I'm not in to religion as such but I'm prepared to believe that Mother Nature had a little push here and there.
    Infamy infamy, they've all got it in for me.

    That is amazing ... I love stuff like this. I've ever heard of bees being frozen and thawing out to come back to life (I wouldn't recommend trying they're struggling enough as it is!)

    Nature is wonderful, it still comes up with great things that amaze.
    There are even frogs that stay in the dessert until rain comes then come to the surface, do the business and so the cycle of life continues. Evolution is always moving forward.
