• ... that a few Moor frogs are able to freeze solid to temperatures as low as −16 °C (3 °F) and thaw to survive? Source: https://cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/cjz-2019-0179

• Article is new enough, long enough. Hook is interesting and sourced, but I'd like to see the exact information (to temperatures as low as −16 °C (3 °F) and thaw) included in the article as well. Please ping me once this is resolved or when you have any comments. Ippantekina (talk) 04:41, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

• edited this line: "A few members from a population from Karasuk were able to freeze solid to -16℃, thaw, and survive albeit with mortality at >90%" Elwhoelwu (talk) 17:50, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
  • "mortality at >90%" that's concerning for a DYK hook... Could we rephrase it to something like "a few Moor frogs"? Ippantekina (talk) 04:45, 15 November 2022 (UTC) @Elwhoelwu: nudge-- Ippantekina (talk) 04:54, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
    • I would suggest something like "... that a few Moor frogs are able to freeze solid to temperatures as low as −16 °C (3 °F) and thaw to survive?" (cue a few) that is safer to convey the fact that mortality rate is higher than 90%. Ippantekina (talk) 07:49, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
