Quiz: Animals in Autumn
Discover what animals do to get ready for cold winter days.
Birds on the Move
In autumn, many birds migrate to warmer places. They fly south in large flocks before the cold weather comes. Some birds travel thousands of miles to find food and stay safe. They need to prepare for a long, hard journey.
Getting Ready for Winter
Some animals, like squirrels, gather nuts and hide them in the ground. Other animals, like bears, hibernate and sleep through the cold months. Many animals grow a thick coat of fur to keep warm. Some animals even shed their old fur and grow new, warmer fur. All these changes help animals survive the winter.
