14. What animals do in winter • Hibernate-Hibernation is like a very deep sleep. Animals hide away in a den or burrow. Their body temperature and heart rate slow down. This helps them to save their energy. Hibernating animals wake up in spring when the weather is nicer and there is more food around. • Migrate- That's what migrating animals do. When the weather starts to get cold migrating animals fly or swim to a warmer place where they can find food. • Adapt-Animals that adapt to the cold weather often change their appearance. They grow warmer fur or feathers and sometimes change color. Some animals change color to camouflage themselves against the snow. These animals can find food in winter, even though there isn't much food around.
