The frogs, housed in the centrifuge, are in the liquid loop. Moving from the lung to the frogs, the loop contains water and dissolved oxygen; moving from the frogs back to the lung, it contains water and free CO 2. A double layer of polyurethane foam lining the interior of the centrifuge prevents frog waste matter from fouling the water ...
The Guinness Book of World Records lists the frog's body weight at 10 milligrams (0.00035 oz), [13] while measurements of Schindleria brevipinguis show them to weigh less than 2 milligrams (7.1 × 10 −5 oz), with one adult specimen weighing just 0.7 milligrams. [14] The frog lives on land and its life cycle does not include a tadpole stage. [11]
[1] The boiling frog is an apologue describing a frog being slowly boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if the frog is put in tepid water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death.

Hyla japonica, commonly known as the Japanese tree frog, is a species of anuran native to Japan, China, and Korea. H. japonica is unique in its ability to withstand extreme cold, with some individuals showing cold resistance at temperatures as low as −30 °C for up to 120 days. [2]
It can be between 4 and 6 centimetres (1.6 and 2.4 in) long. Its color is yellowish-brown, and sand often adheres to its skin. [3] Sand sticks to the frogs entire body, excluding the mouth and nose, and can likely be attributed to a type of sticky secretion, as removal of sand from the frog is difficult. [6]
