Many plants begin to lose their leaves to save energy for the winter. Some trees, like oak,horsechestnut and ash trees, have leaves that dramatically change colour before falling off. Even though trees lose their leaves, they do not die. They are saving energy and will grow again once spring arrives.
Autumn is also a busy time for many plants and animals as they prepare for the cooler winter. Many animals use the autumn to gather and store food for the winter. Hibernating animals, such as bats, hedgehogs and ground squirrels, eat in order to gain weight and live off their stored fat through the winter. Many animals grow thicker coats and gain many layers of fat to prepare for the oncoming winter.
