TABLE OF
CONTENTS
Cold
Winter is cold. Many plants
die. There is less food for
animals.
What Do You See?
What kind of animal is this?
Animals sense these changes.
Their behavior also changes.
Rest
Some animals hibernate.
Many bats sleep all winter.
What Do You See?
This turtle is underwater. How can you tell?
Some turtles rest in deep mud
underwater all winter.
What Do You See?
Geese migrate. How many geese do you see?
Birds
Many birds migrate. They fly
to warmer places. They find
food there.
Some birds grow more
feathers. This helps them
keep warm.
Fur
Some animals grow thicker
fur to keep warm. Red foxes
do this.
Arctic foxes turn white for
winter. White fur helps the
fox hide in snow.
Soon, snow melts. Spring
arrives. What do animals
do in spring?
