Yup. Similar to a snow-cap. Ice provides insulation.

Just like Eskimoses in their igloos in 40 below temperatures.

And sled dogs that bury themselves in the snow.

Yep, sorta related somewhere on here is an article on how goldfish can survive being actually frozen in ice, think Mitchm posted it years ago. Think it has something to do with producing more glycogen(probably not remembering this right) in there blood and tissues that keeps them from being damaged during this period.

Like built in anti-freeze! I'm sure it's not their ideal situation, but they are prepared if it happens.

Side note - I miss @MitchM - looks like he deleted himself from the forum completely.

The last he had posted a Moose and a Mountain lion were in his yard with the new clay pond.

I remember that! I wish we could hear "the rest of the story"... ala Paul Harvey!

He was so helpful when we were just getting into this pond hobby - his knowledge far superseded mine - but he was also patient with explaining thing so this newbie could grasp the concepts.
