1. Frogs can jump out quickly when the temperature changes significantly. When the water temperature changes very slightly, it is difficult for the frog to detect it and loses the chance to escape. The basis behind the story of "boiling a frog in warm water" has a certain truth, but the heating conditions that can boil a frog to death are different from what we generally understand by "boiling".

2. Frogs are amphibians and are cold-blooded animals, and their body temperature will adjust with the temperature of the environment. Hodgson is studying the maximum temperature that amphibians can tolerate... You see, scientists always find scientific excuses for some bizarre experiments. Hodgson selected a heating rate of about 1.1 degrees Celsius per minute. He found that after reaching a certain temperature, the frog would become restless and try to escape from the environment. If the container allowed, the frog would still jump out without hesitation.
