①It is very cold in winter in some places. Snow and ice cover the ground. It is hard for animals to find food during these cold days. They get through the hard time in many ways.
②Some birds fly to other places. Many of them leave before winter comes. They travel to warm places and come back in spring. We call it migration (迁徙). It’s a good way for them to get away from the cold weather.
③Another good way to get through winter is sleeping. Some animals, such as snakes and bears, hide (隐藏) themselves in safe places and sleep through the whole winter. We call it hibernation (冬眠).
④Some animals, like squirrels (松鼠), ★ lots of food in their homes before winter. When it gets cold, they stay indoors and hardly go out.
⑤Other animals have to live in the cold winter. Some animals have thick fur (皮毛) to keep warm in winter while some change the colour of the fur. Arctic foxes are brown in summer but their fur turns white in winter.
