Ice walking common frog (Rana temporaria) (Ranidae, Amphibia) [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Studies in Herpetology, 2021
Arecord of Rana temporaria on the ice cover of the Gulf of Finland is described. Frog slowly moved on the ice surface with speed around 0.03 m/s. Air temperature near ice surface was +3.5°C, and the frog body temperature was +4°C. In the Saint Petersburg region, common frogs can hibernate in the coastal waters of Baltic Sea with salinity of 0 – 5.8‰.
