Animals know when it's winter since they sense the sun going down. during winter there's less day light and the animals see that the sun is getting lower. they see where the sun came up and went down. plants know when the sun is going down by feeling it. plants make food everyday and they use photosynthesis which needs the sun. when they can't make enough food they know the sun is going down since you need the sun to make food.
Because it's cold in the winter....and hot in the summer....theyre animals not idiots
Animals who live in places where winter means snow will be able to hide better if they can change their coats between white during winter and something brownish during spring, summer and fall.
what animals present in winter in alberta?
Most animals hibernate in the winter but birds head south.
In the US, animals like squirrels, rabbits, deer, and birds have adaptations to survive the winter. They may grow thicker fur or feathers, store food for winter months, change their diet, or go into hibernation to conserve energy during the cold season. Some animals migrate to warmer areas during winter to avoid harsh conditions.
The way a season affects an animal all depends on the species and/or environment. For example: animals usually found in the woods or forests (bears, foxes, rabbit, etc.) hibernate during the winter because of the lack of food during winter. I don't know all the affects, but that was an example of how winter affects woodland animals.
Most times, the average temperature in a deciduous forest is around 50*. This allows for a change of seasons. The animals in this forest adapt and depend on a change of seasons. If winter lasted an entire year, all of the plants and trees would lose their leaves for that year. This would cause the animals to lose shelter and cover they seek from these plants. Animals would also lose any food they depend on from those plants. SO, the animals in that deciduous forest would probably die if winter lasted an entire year.
