The article tells us that: :Though they are widespread in New York City's five boroughs, gray tree frogs are rarely noticed by park visitors or wetland hikers." Its trick to surviving a New York City winter? The frog is able to shut down its body so that its "heart stops beating completely, its lungs stop working, and its brain activity is almost unmeasurable." I kind of wish I could do that in the summer, when it's 95 degrees and the whole city smells vaguely of rotting garbage.
