How Animals Prepare for Winter. - V. BIANKI

In the forest, everyone prepares for winter in their own way.

Who could, flew away from hunger and cold on the wings. Those who are left are in a hurry to fill their pantries, preparing food supplies for the future.

Especially diligently dragging his short-tailed mice-voles. Many of them dug their winter holes right under the stacks of bread and steal grain every night.

Five or six paths lead to the hole, each path leading to its own entrance. Underground - a bedroom and several storerooms.

In winter, voles are going to sleep only in the most very coldy.

Belkin dryer.

The squirrel took one of its round nests in the trees under the pantry. Here she has hazelnuts and cones stacked. In addition, the squirrel collects mushrooms - oilfish and birch trees. She puts them on broken knots of pines and dries them for future use. In winter, she will wander through the branches of trees and be supported by dried mushrooms.

They hide.

It's getting cold, it's getting cold! The water freezes in the pond.

The tailed newt left the pond for the forest and hid under the bark of a rotten stump.

Frogs dive, clog in the silt. Snakes burrow under roots and moss.

It's getting hungry, hungry!

Bats hide in hollows, caves, attics. They already have nothing to eat, butterflies, flies, mosquitoes have disappeared.

A fat badger comes out of its warm and clean hole less and less.

Ants clog the entrances and exits of their high city. They huddle in heaps in the very depths of it, where it is warmer.

Fish flocks pile up in whirlpools and deep underwater pits.

The frost is not great, but it does not allow you to yawn - as soon as it breaks out, winter forges the earth and water with ice at once. Where are you going then?

After all, in the summer we wear light clothes so that it is not hot, and in winter we put on warmer clothes, so the animals also have to change clothes.

How the wolf prepares for winter, you will learn from this article.

How does a wolf prepare for winter?

Let's say right away that wolves do not hibernate in winter and their activity does not decrease. They endure the cold season on their paws. But still, some changes occur with wolves.

Wolves, like other wild animals, such as a hare, do not change the color of their coats. After all, they are predators and they simply do not need a protective color of a fur coat. Only its density changes - the fur becomes very fluffy and thick. This allows the wild animal to maintain body temperature and survive even severe frosts and winds.

Another feature that helps animals survive in conditions harsh winter, is the low thermal conductivity of fur (1.2-1.5 times lower than the thermal conductivity of muskrat and beaver skins).

By the time winter arrives, wolves begin to gather in packs. So it is much easier to survive in the winter by getting food for yourself. It is easier to hunt in a flock, which they do with success, chasing wild boars, hares and roe deer. The diameter of the area occupied by the flock in winter is usually 30-60 kilometers. In spring and summer, when the flock breaks up, the territory occupied by it is divided into several fragments.

A pack of wolves in the autumn-winter season can consist of two old men, 3-6 arrived and 2-4 over-flyers, that is, from 7-12 individuals, rarely more.

life explorers wild wolves noticed interesting fact- preparing for the winter, the wolves begin to dig up moles, bite the animals and bury them back in order to find this treasure in winter and feast on it if it gets really bad.

in winter wild animals is having a hard time. Everyone has their own plan for how to survive the winter, they prepare in different ways for severe frosts. Someone is stocking up on food, someone is changing clothes, and someone is preparing a warm home for themselves.

How squirrels prepare for winter

Squirrels prepare for winter throughout the year. They stock up on nuts, acorns, mushrooms, berries, cones, as they eat only plant foods. They carefully dry the obtained food on branches, stumps and put it in their dwelling. Squirrels hibernate in hollows, but do not hibernate. They do not tolerate frost well, so most in winter time they spend in their lodges. Squirrels equip the hollow in advance with tree bark, moss, found feathers, etc. In winter, squirrels change their color from red to grayish, in order to mask.

How beavers prepare for winter

Beavers prepare their homes in advance. They can place it at water level or underwater. To do this, they demolish sticks, branches, which are skillfully tied with algae, grass or held together with clay. The house built by beavers under the ice is warm and safe. They do not freeze in the water in winter, because their fur coat is waterproof. Beavers pre-prepare their food for the winter. In winter, they do not hibernate, but reduce their activity, while being supported by food.

How badgers prepare for winter

Winter for badgers is a difficult period in life, they do not tolerate low temperature. The beginning of autumn for badgers is characterized by the preparation of housing and the collection of food for the winter. In order to survive the winter, they equip their burrow with grasses, branches, moss, etc. From food, they stock up on nuts, acorns, plants, seeds, etc. They are sensitive to frost. The winter is spent passively in a hole, eating stocks.

How do rabbits prepare for winter?

Hares do not equip holes and do not stock food for wintering. They endure severe frosts on their paws. As a disguise, starting in autumn, hares change color from gray color on white. This gives them the opportunity to camouflage themselves from predators against the backdrop of snow. Well, if a wolf or a fox noticed him, he quickly tries to escape. Winter behavior also includes digging temporary burrows in snow or hay. In such holes, he rests and gains strength.

How foxes prepare for winter

Preparing for winter begins with warming your coat. Their coat becomes thick, downy, bright. It perfectly protects them from severe frosts. The fox lives in burrows all year round. Often a place for digging a hole is some kind of hill. So that the fox could survey the entire forest. If she moved far from her hole and a strong snowstorm began, the fox may temporarily settle in another abandoned hole. Before returning to the hole, she carefully confuses the tracks. The fox does not make stocks for the winter, but regularly goes hunting. Most often, rodents become its prey. For lack of meat, she can eat found berries or vegetables. Nature is so complicated that in winter, the metabolism of foxes is reduced. Subcutaneous fat is wasted on warming them in severe frosts. Furry paws allow foxes to move silently when hunting prey. The fox is resistant to severe frosts.

How do wolves prepare for winter?

Wolves endure winter easily. By cold weather, their coat becomes longer and fluffier. It keeps them warm in extreme cold. Often they run out onto roads, trails to facilitate their run. The wolves have salient feature- association in a flock. In a flock, they easily catch prey within a radius of 30-60 km, then eat it together. On average, a pack consists of 7-12 wolves.

How do bears prepare for winter?

With the arrival of autumn, the bear is puzzled by the search and preparation of housing for the winter. An ideal option for a den is a crevice in a mountain, a hole in the ground. He carefully insulates it with branches, foliage, moss, etc. Before falling into hibernation, the bear eats subcutaneous fat at an accelerated pace. This fat is gradually wasted during the winter. In moments of thaw, the bear may wake up for several days and start looking for food.

Wild animals prepare and endure the winter in different ways. Someone lives through severe frosts in motion, someone outlasts them, hiding in their home, while others hibernate. Nature competently distributed features to all animals.

1 slide. The title of the presentation is "How Animals Prepare for Winter"

Hare

In winter, the hare changes his fur coat to White color. Belly, front legs and ears turn white. Then the sides and back of the body. In early December, the hare is already completely white. Long-ears have a bad time when there is no snow for a long time, and they have already shed. White fur betrays them to enemies.

Bear

The bear hibernates in a den. The place is chosen dry, located in a crevice or rock. Before the onset of sleep, the bear eats little to empty the stomach and seal it. During hibernation, the bear does not sleep deeply, dozes, and in case of danger meets the enemy.

A fox

With the advent of winter, the fox changes its fur, to a more lush one, by molting. During the day, she usually sleeps in her burrow, and at night she hunts mice and other rodents. Sometimes, due to lack of food, the fox will steal poultry if it lives near the village. In preparation for winter, the fox digs a hole in groves or on the slopes of ravines.

Wolf

The wolf is dangerous and cunning beast. It is not easy for them to live among the snowy forest, but it is possible. In winter, wolves gather in packs to catch prey more easily. pack of wolves for a short time can catch and divide a wild boar, and alone a wolf is almost impossible to do.

Squirrel

Squirrels do not tolerate frost well and are forced to hide in the thicket of the forest for most of the winter. The squirrel begins to prepare food for itself long before winter. In general, squirrel all year round drags acorns, nuts, mushrooms, cones onto tree branches. Then the squirrel dries the food on stumps or high branches of trees and eats it.

beavers

Beavers start preparing for winter long before it starts. It builds a dwelling at the water level or slightly lower, and in winter it is completely under the ice. They are warmer there. The dwellings built by the beaver are very strong, they bind the pieces of wood with plants and river clay. The beaver needs enough food for the winter, because they do not hibernate, but only lower their energy.

Badger

In winter, the badger lives in a hole that it makes in the fall. Inside, he equips everything with dry grass, leaves, moss, so that it is as warm as possible. The badger also stocks up on food with the beginning of autumn. The food for the badger is the roots of plants, seeds, acorns, fruits of various plants.

Hedgehog

Hedgehogs begin to prepare for winter in early autumn. They are looking for a deep hole, at least one and a half meters deep, otherwise cold winter with severe frosts, hedgehogs may simply freeze and not survive. They warm it with dry leaves and moss, clog the hole and hibernate.

Chipmunk

Chipmunks gather food supplies all day long and hide them in their burrows to provide themselves with food for the whole winter. Chipmunks feed on nuts, berries, plant seeds and even insects. When chipmunks find something edible, they grab it and quickly stuff it into their mouths, into their cheek pouches, and then they carry it into the hole. Chipmunks live in burrows with intricate passages, which, depending on their subspecies and habitat, they usually dig in dense thickets of bushes, near fallen trees or stumps.

Elk

First of all, females with cubs move to wintering, followed by adult moose. During the period of frost, moose hide up to their withers in the thickness of loose snow, and during the period strong winds or during a snowstorm, the animals hide in the thicket of coniferous young growth. Moose lay down under the wind in a semicircle and freeze in the direction of the trail.

Lynx

By winter, as a rule, the lynx eats up a small subcutaneous fat reserve, which, coupled with thick, dense hair, reliably protects it from frost. Powerful wide paws allow it to quickly move through the crust and snow, without falling through and without restricting movement.

Mice

Preparing for frosts, mice dig the main passages and multi-storey minks. Under the roots of trees, as well as in places where snowdrifts are the largest in winter, they dig holes.

Gopher

In ground squirrels, long before hibernation, an increased secretion of male steroid hormones begins in the body, due to which they muscle mass increases by a quarter. This and also body fat, allow you to safely overwinter.
