In a water-deprived region of Northern Australia, the water-holding frog survives by burying itself into the soil to avoid dehydration. During this period- which can last up to two years- the frog uses up its body water supply and resides within a self-created, almost waterproof cocoon. The frog only emerges from its protective cocoon after a period of heavy rains, and once again absorbs more than half its body volume in water through its skin. It then returns to dwell beneath the muddy soil surface, waiting for the next rainy season. |
