wood frog spawn_5R4A8412
Springtime in Interior Alaska! The wood frogs are awake and mating.
Wood frogs have one of the more impressive survival strategies. In the fall they convert the sugars in their body into glycogen to coat their cell walls so they will not rupture when they freeze. They then borrow into mud or leave litter and freeze into a frogcycle.
They live for 5 years so they perform this magic 5 times.
This is some spawn of fertilized eggs that will soon turn into tadpoles.
