Maybe tadpoles aren't as stupid as they look.

Last night my pond froze over. By lunchtime the sun had melted the ice
and my newly-hatched tadpoles were basking in warm water trapped on top
of their mass of jelly. The rest of the pond was still bitterly cold.

Sorry about the picture quality.
Now whoo wuz it that said they mite be toast?
Good for the mass of jelly.


Me, but I also suggested that the jelly would prevent freezing, which is
the killer, not the cold as such.
