Some animals adapt quickly to temperature changes. This is the case of some American frogs. These animals have been studied by some environmentalists concerned about climate change in the puddles of the last 30 years.

The researchers analyzed how they endured the preferred heat and temperature, as well as the relationship between temperature and speed of development. The results of these observations indicate that frogs adapt quickly.

According to the researchers, this result shows that some species are less sensitive to climate change, so not all species are affected by this type of change. Therefore, the researchers point out that these differences should be taken into account when making forecasts about the future of the species.
