How do chimpmunks survive in winter?

Chipmunks survive winter by going into a state of torpor, where their metabolism slows down significantly to conserve energy. They also create extensive burrow systems underground to stay warm and safe from predators. Chipmunks store food in their burrows during the warmer months and rely on these food caches to sustain them through the winter.


Do chipmunks hibernate all winter?

Nope. Birds, unlike most mammals, can fly, and therefore simply migrate away from bad weather, like winter. Rather than trying to find a suitable place to stay for months, and putting on enough fat to survive that long, they head south for much more moderate climes. Consider as well, that most birds that do stay in unfavorable areas during winter often burn off ALL their fat during the night. A chickadee will have to eat all day just to survive one night. As they are now, there is no conceivable way for them to survive an entire season hibernating.

Are snow leopards related to cats?

No. Every leopard has a different pattern. Spotted leopards dont like black leopards. so they cant "date" the real term is mate. but snow leopards need to be where its cold hint the word snow. and spotted leopards live in South Africa. if u put a snow leopard where its really hot like South Africa the chances are that the Snow leopard will not survive because its prob not going to know the habit and where to find food, water, etc. and if u put a spotted leopard where the snow leopards live it wont be able to find that stuff either.so the answer to "can spotted leopards and snow leopards date?" is no they cant.Nearly all Felidae (cats) can interbreed, Leopards and snow leopards are both Panthera genus, and thus related fairly closely.But since there are several different types of leopards, the chances of any particular ones mating would depend upon a number of factors.
