In life of wild animals winter – the difficult period. And not only for those who walk it, but also for falling into hibernation. Hard frosts and considerable reduction of food together with forest hunters lead to the fact that not all animals manage to endure this time. And many of them also give birth to cubs in this hard time.
Instruction
1. Some animals fall in the winter into saving hibernation. The main condition for this purpose – a large amount of subcutaneous fat and the cozy, well protected den. The bright representative of such pastime – a bear. In the fall he begins to eat much that then it was possible to sleep peacefully, without hungering. Otherwise on the wood hungry also very angry bear the connecting rod, it is better for them not to occur in the path begins to be unsteady in the winter. As a den small deepening can serve this animal in the earth at roots of trees, the natural cave or a ravine in which he trains a moss, leaves, a grass in advance, and dims then everything fir-tree branches.
2. Bear females in January-February give birth to cubs which are fed with milk. Till spring the bear cubs, as well as a she-bear, remain in a den and practically do not grow because of small quantity of food. Only become covered by more dense hair.
3. Also badgers and raccoons fall into hibernation in the holes. And body temperature at them, as well as at bears, considerably decreases because of delay of course of vital processes. Also the majority of rodents sleep in the minks: beavers, chipmunks, mice, groundhogs, gophers and others. Here only a dream at the last faltering – they wake up to eat the food which is laid up for the winter which is hidden directly in a mink.
4. Proteins winter in the nests which equip in hollows of trees or on a branching of branches. And the nest, as a rule, has two entrances in case of uninvited guests. Even in the winter of protein often leaves a nest to be supported with the stocks of nutlets hidden during the summer which she puts at roots of trees or in a hollow.
5. And a wolf, the hare and a fox in the forest, as we know, are fed by legs. The fox runs in search of holes with rodents, the hare looks for roots, the frozen berries, a grass or thin branches of bushes. And the wolf runs in day on several dozen kilometers in search of food – boars, hares and other animals. The hare and a fox also have holes, and females of wolves get to themselves a den only for cultivation of posterity, is closer to spring. In the winter, as a rule, wolves gather in packs that allows them to survive better.
