Default tadpoles

I had some frogspawn in my pond the other week which was just about to
hatch but then we had a very cold spell and a thin layer of ice had
formed on the pond over night which had killed off the little tadpoles
as they had all stopped wriggling.

I scooped up about six dead tadpoles from the pond in a coffee jar and
just left them in the garage, a week later I was about to empty the jar
and found to my amazement that all six dead tadpoles had come to life
and where swimming in the jar, I had left the others in the pond but I
can't see if any of them had survived because the goldfish may have
eaten them.
