Their bodies will live off their body fat as they ‘sleep’ through winter.

The animal will use up the body fat it stores and not lose any muscle.

This causes the animal to come out of hibernation thinner but still as strong as it was in the fall.

Why do animals store nuts in summer to eat for winter?

Animals store nuts in summer to eat for winter because it is a way for them to ensure a food supply when resources become scarce during the colder months. Storing nuts allows animals to have access to high-energy food sources when foraging opportunities are limited in the winter. This behavior also helps animals survive and maintain their energy reserves until food becomes more abundant again in the spring.
