What kinds of animals can you freeze and revive? Can humans freeze and be revived?

Question

I'm not going to freeze anything. I'm just wondering.

Answer 1

to quote any help?: "frogs work ok, as long as they are not solid"... what the hell?!? how many semi solid frogs you come across lately??? you are not any help, any help?... where you from? another oxygen thief...

Answer 2

In defense of 'any help?', who said "frogs work ok, as long as they are not solid" - that is actually correct, if not worded very scientifically. Several species of frog can actually burrow into mud in the fall, freeze over the winter, and 'revive' in the spring. They do not freeze 'solid' because they break down glycogen in their livers into glucose, and spread it throughout their bodies. This allows them to freeze, without really freezing 'solid' - think about a popsicle vs. an ice cube. Both are frozen, but the ice cube is certainly 'solid'. The popsicle, on the other hand, is frozen, but not really 'solid' - you can break it apart easily. That's because of the sugar in it, which allows it freeze without being truly 'solid'. The same is true of the frog.

Answer 3

The only animal I can think of off the top of my head is known as the weta beetle (though you might want to check this out, my memory is not that good).

I don't think that humans can, though if you do a net search on cryogenics you will read lots of differing opinions on just that issue.

(ok, I got that wrong, I don't think it is the weta beetle, but there are a few types of insects that can)

Answer 4

frogs work ok, as long as they are not solid. you can freeze something to the point where the cells are almost motionless but not frozen, if they are frozen they're dead. freezing most likely is a good way to slow aging down, if controlled correctly.

Answer 5

scorpion, freeze it for a couple of years take it out let it defrost and it will come back to life.

Answer 6

snakes, monkeys don't live long blood vessels burst

Answer 7
