During hibernation, a woodchuck's body temperature drops significantly, which lowers its metabolic rate. Despite this decrease in oxygen demand, a small amount of oxygen is still needed for basic physiological functions to keep the animal alive during its winter sleep. This is why woodchucks are not completely oxygen deprived during hibernation.

How does the woodchuck's appearance change as winter approaches?

Well, darling, as winter rolls in, the woodchuck doesn't bother with a winter wardrobe change. Instead, it just stuffs its face with food to pack on those extra pounds for hibernation. So, you won't see any fancy fur coats or stylish scarves on these critters – just a chunky woodchuck ready to snooze the winter away.


Where does the frog get its food and oxygen during the winter?

During winter, frogs typically hibernate in a state of dormancy where their metabolic rate slows down. They do not eat during this time as their digestion slows down. Frogs absorb oxygen through their skin, but during hibernation, they rely on stored energy and absorb small amounts of oxygen through their skin and lining of their mouth.

What important job does a woodchuck have in the beginning of February?

I don't know how important this is, but woodchucks (or groundhogs) are used to predict the length of winter by observing their shadow when they emerge from their burrow. If they see their shadow, winter will last for another six weeks. Checking back over many years, it appears that they are only correct about 40% of the time! This means that you would probably be more accurate than a woodchuck!! Bottom line: Punxsutawney Phil has had a 39% accuracy rate regarding his early spring/late winter forecasts.
