Winter adaptations in the animal world
Snow, ice, frost ... winter is beautiful, but it can also be dangerous. Let's get to know the adaptations of animals that allow them to survive this difficult time.
When the wind blows outside the window and the ponds are frozen, some animals prefer to wait until the sun shines again and warms them. But ... where do they hide then? What animals fall into winter sleep? What is hibernation? How do animals "make their beds" in their dens to be comfortable all winter? We will also consider whether animals wear jackets. We will talk about the role of fur and bird feathers. Looking into their winter pantry, we'll see what our four-legged friends like to eat.
