Animals in Winter | What do animals do in Winter | How Animals Prepare for Winter | Winter & Animals
Summary
TLDRThe script explains how different animals survive the winter. Some animals hibernate by sleeping through the cold months. Others migrate to warmer areas with more food. Still others adapt by growing thicker fur and changing color, like the snowshoe hare whose fur turns white. The script gives examples of hibernating animals like bears and hedgehogs, migrating animals like monarch butterflies and geese, and adapting animals like the arctic fox and polar bear. It aims to teach children about the strategies animals use to endure the challenging winter season.
Takeaways
- 😀 Animals have 3 main strategies to survive winter: hibernate, migrate to warmer areas, or adapt physically
- 🥶 Hibernation is like a deep sleep where animals curl up in a safe place all winter
- 🚗 Migration means travelling to places with warmer weather and more available food
- 🧥 Adaptation means animals change their bodies and behaviors to handle the cold
- 🐻 Bears, hedgehogs, and groundhogs are some animals that hibernate in winter
- 🦢 Geese and monarch butterflies migrate long distances to avoid the cold
- ❄️ Snowshoe hares and arctic foxes change fur color to camouflage in snowy environments
- 🥜 Squirrels and chipmunks gather nuts and seeds in fall to eat during winter
- 🐧 Penguins and polar bears are adapted to find food even when not much is available
- 🌡 Animals carefully prepare for winter long before it arrives by storing food and growing thick fur
