All 'beginning of' winter many animals fall into a particular state of rest: the lethargy. Hibernation is a means used by animals to survive against the cold and why would not find much food for them. During hibernation animals slow their vital functions (the body cools, the heart beats more slowly, do not feel the need to eat), falling into a deep sleep more or less. For example, lizards are hiding some little hole in the ground, if they remained at 'open during the' winter, they freeze and it does not find the insects they eat. Frogs sink into the mud of ponds and remain there until spring.
snails and snails hide in sheltered places and went to sleep also this' last stop in their shell with a membrane. The scroll begins to be in trouble, and his finish is tricky indeed an excellent tool for defense against enemies, but it protects from the cold. Moreover, being an insectivore, is also short of food. To resolve this situation, when it gets cold, the hedgehog is pellets into his hole and falls into lethargy, the His body is cooled until spring.
The place where the marmots spend the lethargy is a real underground chamber, just a two or three meters deep, it is also about ten meters wide and there are to stay a fortnight of marmots. During the 'summer these animals have cut their teeth much grass el' have dried in the sun and then, with his teeth, carried the hay in their dens, placing it in layers. In winter, this soft mattress, sleeping a deep sleep, curled up close to the body between the hind legs. During hibernation, breathing is slow, the heart beats very slowly, the body cools down and utilize, in order to survive, the fat accumulated during 's summer. When he wakes up in the spring, the woodchuck is very thin!
squirrels during the winter ', do not sleep all the time. Almost every morning they leave the nest, perched on a tree, to stretch a bit 'paws, chasing and running down the trunks and branches. Also go to pick up a bit 'of the food they had accumulated in small stores hidden in the hollows of trees. At other times of the day if they are tightly capped in their nest where they sleep and "are snacks."
Finally we have an animal again, few people know about 18 years ago, in fact for those who know him, in short for those who saw him a few times, is very lucky ... is a exemplary because it shows strange mood of sweet even if he thinks to be bad, you think the world there is only one. I personally know him very well. It 'an animal that is able to recommend just watching, and starting capacity behind it without knowing how or when. Also goes into hibernation when he pleases, but very rarely, especially when she is sad and angry. Does not care about the season not so ... You may wonder, what kind of pet?
Oh yes you are right ... is simply a fool, going into hibernation ... Dave ... Thank goodness you slowly wake up from hibernation also on the blog! Hihi ...
