Doesn't winter weather call for sleeping through it? Some got the message and set up their biorhythms the right way, and some didn´t. Today you can get inspired by the lucky ones – the species that go into the state of hibernation.
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
