Oops, my bad. Shoulda said fridge, not freezer ^^. I've heard amphibians and insects that literally freeze, but freezing turts, i'm still kinda unsure. Withstanding freezing temperatures are more like it, rather than freezing in blocks of ice (but as said on previous replies, who knows?). The most likely candidates are painteds, and maybe RES (RES are known to hibernate underwater, under mud & debriss, while the top freezes some turts are known to breathe through their behinds!!! Supposedly blood vessels cary small amounts of oxygen wich is extracted from water, just like gills! )
