October 15, 2011: All my life I've wakened every morning excited about what I'll experience & learn that day. I usually start the day by looking up a new-to-me fact, but definitely when I need a mental break from paperwork or practicing I briefly go looking for something new to learn. My blog is about anything I learn on any subject. I hope you will enjoy exploring this path with me.

Frozen for Years...

The Siberian Salamanders have an anti-freeze-like compound in their blood that allows them to survive in up to 50-degrees below zero Farenheit. They can remain frozen for years, then thaw and begin breeding. For more information, click here , and click here.
If you have seen a salamander, where did you see it? Do you know what kind of salamander it was?
