How "Cold-Blooded" Animals Survive the Cold

The video explores how cold-blooded animals like turtles, frogs, and nematode worms survive extreme cold. Painted turtles slow their metabolism and store harmful compounds in their shells. Wood frogs use sugars and urea as antifreeze to protect vital organs. Antarctic nematode worms can survive full body freeze, a process still not fully understood. These adaptations offer insights into cryogenics, potentially aiding in organ preservation and long space journeys.
