Two bats hibernating

European Hedgehog (Erinaceous Europaeus) preparing for hibernation

Turtles hibernate as well

Not quite yet – Brown bear (Ursus arctos) awaiting spring

Knock, knock. Can I stay over winter? – Common toad choosing its spot for hibernation

Just out of hibernation – Adder snake (Vipera berus)

In the Hornet family (Vespa crabro) only the new queen hibernates

Some snails hibernate – To stay moist they seal the opening of their shells with an epiphragm
One doesn´t have to go far for an example – surely you must have seen a similar picture at your home more often during winter / Photo: Martina Advaney
