Since the onset of winter radically affects the state of one of the most important components of all life - water, there should be no less dramatic changes in the physiology and behavior of animals in response to environmental changes. Some creatures survive by producing special substances, while others remain in constant motion to maintain their body temperature. Having avoided the threat of freezing to death, animals must still have time to find food during its shortage or store it in advance during the summer abundance. The famous American naturalist Bernd Heinrich describes the strategies used by weasels, flying squirrels, kingbirds, turtles, aquatic rodents, frogs, insects, hamsters, bats, butterflies, bears, bees and many other members of the animal kingdom to survive in harsh winter conditions. Beautifully illustrated with the author's drawings and filled with his inexhaustible love for nature, this book highlights the behavior of animals and plants during the coldest time of the year.
