In cold climates, getting ready for winter is a big thing. For animals and people alike, it’s a matter of survival. This pocket book takes a look at the ways some animals respond to

the coldest time of the year—hibernation, changing coloration, migration—and how people adapt to the harsh weather conditions that winter brings.

• Before hibernating, a woodchuck eats so much that its

stomach touches the ground when it walks.

• The dormouse sleeps so soundly that it does not wake even

when dropped on the fl oor.

• A black bear can sleep in one position for up to six months.

It doesn’t even produce any waste!

• Black bears can lose 100 pounds (45 kilograms)

during hibernation.

• A bear’s bones and muscles stay healthy even though they

may not exercise for six months.

all the time. The body temperature of a hibernating

woodchuck is about 50° F (10° C).
