Tortoises adapt to winter by entering a state of brumation, a hibernation-like process where their metabolic rate significantly decreases. They often burrow into the ground or seek shelter in rocks or vegetation to avoid freezing temperatures. During this time, they rely on stored body fat and can go without food or water for extended periods. This adaptation helps them survive harsh winter conditions until temperatures rise again.
