25. No animal, once frozen solid (i.e., water solidifies and turns
to ice) survives when thawed, because the ice crystals formed

ice (or at least keep the crystals from becoming very large), so
that they actually never freeze even though their body temperature
is below zero Celsius. The water in them remains liquid: a
phenomenon known as 'supercooling.' If you disturb one of these
frogs (just touching them even), the water in them quickly freezes
solid and they die.
