What happens to slimy amphibians during a drought? Do they shrivel up and die?
After an extremely long drought in my aunt's area (northern CA), there was an enormous rainfall, enough to fill a few inches up of her pond that had been dried out all summer. Within three days (probably less), she could hear the calls of the Pacific Tree Frog, and found plenty of them in her pond and its surrounding environs.
Where did they come from? Where did they go? If they actually did leave for somewhere else, how did they know how to come back?

There are fish which can do the same thing.
