Frogs

Most of the time frogs live on land but they return to ponds to cool down on hot days. They also hibernate in winter in mud at the bottom of ponds, when they breathe through their skin, or in sheltered damp places such as a pile of stones or logs. If your garden pond freezes over in winter ask an adult to melt an area of the ice with hot water so the frogs do not suffocate.

Around the frog's fifth spring it will return to the pond, this time to breed, and the life cycle begins again.
