The Altitude Adept Amphibians
Deep in the Andes and Himalayas, you'll find frogs that have adapted to life in some of the harshest climates! Would you believe that some even enjoy a view above 5,000 meters? Despite the cold and low oxygen levels, these frogs leap through life with resilience.
Adaptations include:
- An enhanced ability to tolerate freezing temperatures.
- Unique skin that prevents dehydration in thin air.
- Extra-large lungs and increased blood oxygen capacity.
