57. Snow Bunting and Wood Frog

Weird Animal Facts: Explicit

"It’s the most wonderful time of the year,

With the frogs that are freezing,

The snow buntings leaving. Oh this is so weird!

Its the most wonderful time of the year!"
In our second to last winter week, we take a look at two winter themed animals that appear to be.... normal. But this show is not called Weird Animal Facts for no reason. These two seemingly ordinary bird and frog are anything but. For the cold weathered snow bunting, that beautiful white plumage isn't even their winter plumage. They're white in the summer (which is the opposite of most Europeans)!
Guest appearances by "Julia Child" for a new segment of "The Bird Chef" teaches us just how to make a snow bunting and Funky-Chill Snow Blunt as he gives us a tour of his "Crib."
Wood Frog...Its a frog. That looks like a frog...and its brown...its small... yep. Its a frog. But as normal as this frog looks its actually a very wintery weirdo. Here's the only hint I'll give you. Wood frog cocktail: blood + sugar + urine = Not dying when frozen.
