winter months. They do not eat or produce waste and their heart slows down.

Slow down your heart rate! Close your eyes, take deep breathes

and slow your body down.

Hiding Some animals hide in their burrows or

nests during the winter. They sleep for a bit, but will often wake up to find food or eat a snack they have stored in their burrow or nest.

warm up your body with some exercise!

Adapting Some animals will adapt to their

surroundings by growing a thicker coat or changing the colour of their coat to camouflage with their environment.
