Dear Janice:

Thank you for your question! Wood frogs are very interesting animals. Did you know that they can survive being frozen? As a matter of fact, wood frogs spend the winter frozen, waiting for springtime to come. They have natural antifreeze in their organs, allowing them to survive cold temperatures that would kill other frogs. But you asked about toes. Frogs have 4 toes on each of their front feet, and five toes on each of their back feet.

For an interesting web site on wood frogs and freezing, check out: woodfrogs

Take care!
Ingrid
