New Jersey has 16 species of frogs and toads, 13 of which can and have been sighted in North Jersey.

At temperatures immediately below freezing frogs assume an overwintering posture with their limbs adducted. When touched at below-freezing temperatures, frogs are only capable of slight movements of the limbs and body. Siberian populations exhibit 0% mortality at -8 °C, 25% mortality at -10 °C, and 50% mortality at -12 °C.
