Questions to Explore in a Winter Animals Unit Study
How do animals survive the cold weather of winter?
Answer: Some animals fly to warmer parts of the world for the winter months. This is called migrating, and several species of birds migrate each year. Some animals escape the cold by hibernating, while others have heavy winter coats of fur to protect them from the cold temperatures.
Which animals hibernate?
Answer: Many animals hibernate, including species of bears, skunks, bats, chipmunks, groundhogs, hedgehogs, snakes, frogs, and bees.
How do forest animals prepare for winter?
During the months before winter, animals prepare for hibernation by eating lots of food that their body converts to body fat. During hibernation, the body uses the stored fat to get through the winter without waking up to eat. Animals who don’t hibernate gather nuts and berries during the fall months and store them for winter.
