Canada’s winters can get mighty chilly, and in response, Canada’s animals have evolved many strategies to cope. One of the most impressive is the ability to survive freezing solid during the winter. An eclectic array of animals including frogs, turtles, woolly caterpillars, and Vancouver’s own mussels can survive internal ice formation. How and why do they do it? Katie Marshall, Killam Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Zoology will chill you with tales of extreme adaptation.
