Ontario Native Q

[Dani33]

I was chatting with someone about native Ontario reptiles and amphibians. We were talking about how some animals have the ability to freeze solid in the winter and miraculously come back to life during the spring thaw. Now, he said that painted turtles and wood frogs have the ability to do this.

Now my question is, can garters as well? He says no. I swear that I saw a documetary with time lapsed video of some garters that this happened to. Some couldn't make it to the den in time. This was quite a few years ago and I certainly could be wrong. It's been plaguing my mind ever since the conversation. If it wasn't a garter, can someone shed some light as to which species of snake that this could be? If not, are there any other species that have this ability and what this process is called?

Thanks in advance for your help.
