Wildlife in winter. How animals prepare for winter (pictures). Predators - forest orderlies
This lesson will discuss the topic “Life of forest animals in winter.” During the lesson, we will get acquainted with the life of forest animals in the coldest time of the year - winter. We will find out how the color of some animals changes, which animals hibernate.
Lesson: Life of forest animals in winter
The snow is deep. Bears and badgers sleep In their winter bedrooms, moths and bugs hid in the dry leaves. Everything is quiet, only the voices of birds and animal tracks tell about the life of the winter forest. In winter, the color of the fur of animals - hare, fox - changes. Some animals They don’t store food for the winter - these are hedgehogs, bears, badgers. They spend time in deep snow. Animal fat - food supply, it lies under the skin, and when the animal does not eat, it penetrates the blood, and it carries food to all organs. Let's complete the task. Name animals that do not store food for the winter.
These are a bear, a hedgehog and a badger.
Imagine that you are flying in a helicopter and looking down at a winter forest. We see some animals: elk, hare, fox, but some animals we don’t, they sleep in their dens, while others hide in holes and hollows.
Let's look at animal tracks in the snow.
Figure 7 shows a bear's footprint.
Figure 8 shows the tracks of a hare.
Figure 9 shows squirrel tracks.
Figure 10 shows moose tracks.
Figure 11 shows boar tracks.
Let's look at the life of some animals in winter.
Elk use snow as protection from the cold. Their resting place is a hole in the snow, shaped like a trough. In winter, moose gather in groups and if, for example, wolves attack an elk, then the elk can kill the wolf with one blow.
The squirrel is saved from the frost by a warm fur coat and a nest. She builds a nest from twigs and caulks the cracks with moss. The temperature in the nest, even in severe frosts, is always about 18°C. And the supplies she makes help her feed herself. Usually The squirrel has not one house, but several: for sleeping, for wintering, for breeding.
Outside the city there is a forest. On a hillock there is a lonely birch tree, its branches hanging straight down to the snowdrifts. I wonder what's there? And there is a hole of hedgehogs. In the fall, the hedgehog eats well and stores fat for the winter so that it has something to eat during hibernation. For the winter, the hedgehog will settle down in a secluded place, curl up in a ball and sleep until spring.
The hare moves in leaps and bounds. In winter it is white, the fur coat is warm. He doesn’t have a house; the hare sleeps in the snow. He also hides from enemies in the snow. The hare does not store reserves; it gnaws the bark of young aspen trees and gnaws thin twigs.
Very different life among animals in the forest. Warm wool saves animals from frost in winter, but food is very difficult to find. Therefore, people who take care of forest inhabitants in winter hang up bunches of leaves harvested from the summer, lay out hay and vegetables.
The next lesson will cover the topic “How to help birds.” On it we will find out which birds remain to spend the winter in our area, and which ones fly to us at the end of autumn.

2. Tell us which animals sleep in winter and which do not sleep.
3. Draw a picture on the topic: “The life of forest animals in winter.”
Winter is a difficult period for many representatives of the animal kingdom on our planet. The starting point for them is autumn. Animals prepare for winter precisely with the onset of this time of year. Each zoological species prepares in its own way: some animals switch to “winter” fur, others manage to stock up on “food”, and still others, having gained enough fat over the summer, are forgotten in winter sleep. But what kind of animals meet the winter in full “combat readiness”? How do they do this? In this article, you will learn from several examples which animals prepare for winter and how they do it.
How do hamsters prepare for winter?
Winter time in the northern regions is perhaps the most stressful and important time in the life of small rodents. To avoid starvation and cold death, many small animals stock up on significant supplies of food. For example, living in the steppes Western Siberia and Europe, prepares for winter in the following way: during the fall, the rodent gains several kilograms (!) of selected grains and root crops. He does this diligently and docilely: the hamster spends his days transporting crops from the fields to his “bins,” dragging the grains in his cheek pouches.
How do voles meet winter?
Many voles also greet winter interestingly. These cute mice begin to harvest grass in the spring, putting it in small piles under certain shelters (for example, under stones). In summer, voles bring rosehip flowers, leaves, cones and pine needles there. The active activity of these creatures ends in the fall, when the first snow covers the mountain meadows. Scientists have calculated the seasonal supply of these animals: one family of voles stores from 5 to 10 kg of food!
Real sleepyheads!
How else do animals prepare for winter? Some careless animals fully justify their name by going into hibernation for the winter. Mother Nature has decreed it in such a way that these sloths don’t even bother themselves with worries about Really, why? After all, you can just go into hibernation! Who are these little lazy creatures? Yes, it's Sony! Small rodents, similar to squirrels. They live mainly in European forests, for which they are nicknamed forest dormouses.
Before the onset of cold weather, forest dormouse begin to noticeably gain weight. They get fatter until they weigh a couple of times more than usual and look like a small fur bag. These creatures sleep in spherical nests, made by them specifically for wintering. At least they are active in some way! Zoologists are touched by the sight of a sleeping forest dormouse: the rodent curls up into a very tight ball, pressing its nose and small paws to its abdomen. At the same time, the fluffy tail, in a semi-ring, covers almost the entire body of the animal.
Wild animals are preparing for winter. Brown bear
Not far from the forest dormice, the clubfooted ones also left. In particular, the owner of the Russian taiga is the brown bear. Bears are those who do not arrange any storerooms for themselves, preferring to hibernate for the winter. Speaking in metaphorical terms, clubfooted heavyweights are their own “storerooms”, because all summer and all autumn they try to eat large reserves of subcutaneous fat in their bodies. Moreover, fat is an excellent “insulation” in winter time of the year!
Clubfoots begin to get fat when the berries ripen in the forest. While animals prepare for winter in one way or another, bears diligently feed on plant rhizomes, berries, nuts, etc. The brown bear's favorite delicacy is honey. For the sake of its sweet and alluring taste, the beast is ready to endure the stings of angry wild bees for hours. But the bear’s “menu,” of course, is not limited to plant foods. Do not forget that this animal is a real predator, therefore, along with berries and nuts, these animals feed on young deer, hares, foxes, wolves and fish. It doesn't cost a bear anything to kill an adult moose!
But gaining subcutaneous fat is only half the battle. Before the onset of prolonged cold weather, the clubfoot must have time to find a secluded place for its future den. Bears do this with enviable care. As soon as the place is found, the animal begins “construction”: it digs a hole in the ground, insulating it with branches, moss, pine needles and other available materials. If the search for a place for a den in a particular forest is unsuccessful, the bear may covet someone else’s shelter. Some of them even drive the current guest out of there and lie there themselves. This is how it is - a bear's preparation for winter!
Quiet in the forest: beavers, hedgehogs and badgers are sleeping
Speaking about how animals prepare for winter (pictures of some representatives of the fauna world are presented in the article), we cannot fail to mention badgers, beavers and, of course, hedgehogs. For example, beavers have been preparing a lot of twigs since the summer, carrying them underwater to their lodges. There they put “building materials” in piles.
Badgers decided to follow the example of clubfoot: they also store subcutaneous fat for winter. In addition, it is easier for them (than for bears) to build a shelter for the winter, and, it should be noted, they cope with their task quite skillfully. Zoologists say that some of these animals can prepare for winter in just one day! It is curious that sometimes a badger “invites” its neighbor, a raccoon, into its shelter. Both animals get along well in the hole, whiling away the winter evenings together.
Hedgehogs are insectivores that prefer to spend the winter hibernating. To do this, they look for secluded burrows located at a distance of 1.5 m from the surface of the earth. Hedgehogs, like bears, sleep all winter. Before going into winter sleep, these insectivores feed diligently, accumulating the same subcutaneous fat, which allows them to sleep through the entire season without unnecessary problems. If a hedgehog goes into hibernation skinny, then it simply has no chance of surviving the winter. Despite the name of their order (insectivores), these creatures eat not only insects, but also frogs, snails, lizards, mice, and bird eggs.
What other animals are preparing for winter?
The pictures presented in this article were not chosen at random: they depict the most striking representatives of the animal kingdom who are preparing for winter. This is done not only by large animals, but also by very tiny creatures - insects. Ants, for example, begin to build large anthills before the onset of severe cold weather. Bees use wax to close their entrance more tightly, leaving only tiny holes.
The question of how animals prepare for winter will not be fully answered if we do not mention our smaller feathered brothers. Many birds fly to warmer regions for the winter, returning to their “native land” only in the spring (storks, cranes, rooks). They are called migratory. But not all birds do this. There are also those who stay in their native lands for the winter. These are mainly urban birds (sparrows, pigeons, tits).
Hares, wolves and foxes
In the fall, some forest dwellers change their “summer” furs to “winter” ones, i.e., through molting, they shed the old light wool, acquiring new and warm ones. The color of the fur coats of some animals also changes, for example, hares. Their gray coat turns white, allowing them to remain virtually unnoticed against the background of snow. These animals do not make any winter reserves. They also do not hibernate. In winter, hares feed mainly on the bark of young trees.
Wolves and foxes, like hares, do not go into winter sleep, but actively scour the forest in the cold season in search of food, for example the same hares. These animals also shed, but the color of their coat does not change.
So, in this article, using some examples, we talked about how animals prepare for winter. As an example, we took the most prominent and famous representatives of the fauna world.

Conversation "How wild animals prepare for winter."
Winter will come soon. The animals of the forest have the hardest time. They are preparing to face winter. Some animals will sleep peacefully in their houses all winter. Who is this? Bear and hedgehog. Three months is a very long time, so now these animals must eat well and accumulate a lot of fat so as not to freeze and not get hungry until spring. They insulate their houses.
Where will the hedgehog hide? In the hole.
Where will the bear sleep? In the den.
But there are animals that do not have a house and will run through the forest all winter, looking for food.
The hare changes his summer coat to a winter one. It is not only warmer, but also a different color.
Which one? - Why white?
- From whom do his long legs and white fur save the hare? From the fox and the wolf.
These are beasts of prey. If they catch a hare, it won't be good for him. The fox has a home - a hole, where she can hide from the winter cold, and the wolf has a wolf's lair.
Do foxes and wolves need to change their fur coats to new winter ones? Of course it is necessary.
After all, in the summer you and I wear light clothes so that it is not hot, and in the winter we put on warmer ones, so the animals also have to change clothes.
This does not mean that they take off their skins and put on new ones, they just grow different, warmer fur. This period in the life of animals is called molting.
Another small furry forest dweller who changes the color of his coat for winter.
The squirrel was red all summer, but by winter it turns gray.
Where does the squirrel live? In the hollow.
-How did she prepare for winter?
All summer and autumn she collected mushrooms and berries and hid them in various places. In winter, she looks for her reserves, but, unfortunately, does not always find them. But in the place where the cones or nuts were hidden, a small sprout may appear in the spring and in a few years a new tree or bush will grow here.
But this handsome forest man wears a beautiful decoration on his head.
- Who is this? Elk.
- What does elk eat? Plants.
-Are there many plants in the forest in winter?
There are many trees and bushes in the forest. This big beast eats their bark. Does he need much for food? A lot of. Therefore, forest rangers feed these beautiful animals so that they can survive the winter. A forester is a person who monitors the safety of the forest.

With the onset of cold weather, life in the winter forest comes to a standstill. Let's see how everyone spends the winter.
Many birds and animals grow new feathers and fur by winter. The black grouse acquires warm feathery “pants,” and white partridges even grow them on their paws. Wolves, foxes, raccoons, bears, and hares are overgrown with dense fur that warms them in the winter cold.
In addition, many animals change the color of their fur coat. Most animals lighten in color in winter, which helps them camouflage. This is how the ermine and weasel camouflage themselves with the color of snow; the ermine’s tail tip remains black, while the weasel becomes completely white. The squirrel changes its fur coat to a bluish-gray one, the white hare changes its reddish-gray color to white. By winter, the gray wolf becomes so light that at dusk, when he begins his hunt, it is impossible to see him.
Often forest dwellers escape the cold... in the snow. It turns out that in loose snow, between the snowflakes, there is air, and the air does not heat up well and does not cool well. Frosty air cannot get under the snow. And by the middle of winter, such a thick blanket of snow will cover the ground that many animals dig holes in them to survive frosts and snowstorms. A warm bed in the snow, in addition to a warm fur coat, completely protects from wind and cold.
Some animals hibernate, mainly not because it is cold, but because they are hungry. There is much less food in winter than in summer, 
There’s only one thing left to do – sleep. To do this, however, you first need to walk more fat. So the bear tries to eat as much as he can before hibernation.
Hedgehogs, marmots, and the bats, at this time the life in the body is slightly warm - the body temperature drops to four degrees.
But the biggest surprise is the crossbill. Only in the winter cold chicks appear. There is snow all around, frost, the air temperature sometimes reaches minus 20-25 degrees, but the crossbill doesn’t care. He foresaw everything in advance: he chose a Christmas tree with the thickest branches, built a deep nest, and such a good one, it retains warmth even in the bitterest frosts.
This is how the Lord wisely arranged the life of forest dwellers in winter. Some fly south, others spend their lives sleeping, while others continue to live and even have offspring.
Good afternoon, dear readers!
In autumn, you and your children often walk in the park or forest. Have a conversation, tell the children how animals prepare for winter.
Let the child remember which animals are called wild. You can show kids pictures of wild animals, ask riddles, and read poems. For older children, ask them to solve logic problems and read them stories about animals in the fall.
Show the relationship in the world around us - it has become cold, the insects are hiding, the birds are flying to warmer climes because there is no food for them.
In winter, the bunny changes his gray coat to a white one so that he will not be eaten by predators; he will not be so noticeable in the snow.
During the conversation, children enrich their vocabulary.
Repeat nouns: bear, wolf, fox, hare. hedgehog, squirrel, den, hollow, den, hole;
adjectives: shaggy, shaggy, angry, hungry, dexterous, strong, cunning;
verbs: howls, gallops, jumps, hides, hibernates, hibernates.
Children need to know: names of wild animals in our forests: bear, wolf, fox, hare, elk, hedgehog, beaver, squirrel;
That wild animals get their own food and build their homes;
- repeat who changes the color of their fur coat for winter (hare, squirrel);
Know where they live:
bear (in a den)
wolf (in the den),
fox (in a hole).
Conversation with children “How animals prepare for winter in the fall”
Late autumn has arrived: sad, rainy and cold. Winter is not far off. Winter is the hardest time for animals. They are freezing and cannot get food for themselves.
Some will sleep until spring in their houses (bear, hedgehog), other animals do not sleep, but make provisions for the winter, insulate their minks, and exchange their summer coat for a winter one.
Who is first?
Most animals begin to prepare for cold weather in the fall, some store food already in the summer. These are mice, chipmunks. They collect seeds, grains, seeds and carry them to their burrows. And then they spend the winter in them.
Let's talk with the children about how a hare, a bear, a hedgehog, a squirrel, a fox and a wolf, and an elk prepare for winter.
First, tell us about 2-3 animals, show pictures, play games so that the child can better remember how animals prepare for winter.
The bear is the owner of the forest
His home is a den. The bear arranges for her in a secluded place, under some snags. He carries moss and leaves there. In winter, the snow will fall and cover the den from above, and it will not be visible at all.
Bears eat nuts, berries, roots, fish, and various larvae. They eat and accumulate fat. In November, the bear climbs into its den and falls asleep. Bears sleep restlessly. If they are disturbed, they may abandon their den and make another.
In the bear's den, babies are born - cubs, 1-2. They are very small.
Foxes and wolves
Gray, angry, cold in winter
A hungry man wanders through the forest. (Wolf)
These predators do not sleep in winter. They also change their outfit and warm up. The animals begin to molt, and then grow thick fur, which helps withstand the cold.
Wolves unite in packs in winter and hunt wild boars, hares, and roe deer.
Look what it is -
Everything burns like gold.
Walks around in a fur coat dear,
The tail is fluffy and large. (Fox)
Foxes hunt at dusk or at night, catching mice, hares and birds. I sneak up on the prey, they suddenly rush at it, grabbing it with sharp teeth. The fox sniffs the snow and looks for mice.
Fox's house? (Nora).
Wolf's house? ( lair).
Another inhabitant of the forest is a squirrel.
Who is in the pines and spruces
Skilfully jumps, bends branches,
He sees where the cones have ripened,
And he carries it into his hollow. (Squirrel)
In summer, this animal wears a red fur coat, and in winter it turns gray.
Where does the squirrel live? (V double)
How does a squirrel prepare for winter?
In the summer he makes provisions: collects mushrooms, nuts, hides them in the forest floor, in a hollow. Strings mushrooms on branches.
The squirrel makes its nest in tall pines and spruces. Squirrels do not hibernate, but in severe frosts they can fall asleep in a hollow.
Elk
A large animal, a handsome forest creature, wears an ornament on its head - large horns.
The moose feeds on plants and in winter gnaws on the bark of trees. It’s difficult for moose in winter, so foresters often feed moose and deer.
At the end of autumn, the elk sheds its antlers. New ones grow by spring.
Hedgehog
That's why I'm famous in the forest,
Which is covered with needles.
But I'm not afraid of enemies -
I’ll snort and curl up into a ball. (Hedgehog)
Early in the fall, the hedgehog prepares a hut for wintering - a mink. It carries leaves and soft moss in it. Hedgehogs have little food in the fall: it is difficult to find frogs, lizards and worms. Therefore, the hedgehog hibernates.
It will burrow into the leaves, curl up into a ball and sleep all winter until spring, until the sun begins to warm up.
Beavers
Ask the children if they know where beavers live.
Water masters
They build a house without an axe,
The house of their brushwood and mud,
And a dam. (Beavers)
Beavers are amazing animals. They have very sharp teeth, with which they chew through trees. And beavers’ fur coats don’t get wet in water.
Beavers take care of their coat: they comb it with their front paws and claws. And other beavers help comb the back.
In autumn, beavers prepare a lot of branches and place them near hut house. This will be their food for the winter.
Beavers do not sleep in winter. The entrance to their house is under water.
How a hare prepares for winter
Gray in summer.
And in winter it’s white. (Hare)
By winter, the bunny changes his gray coat to a white one. For what? So that it is not visible in the snow and does not get caught for lunch by predators.
In winter, hares feed on tree branches: aspen, birch, and willow. and also gnaw bark.
The hare does not have a permanent home; in severe frosts, hares hide under bushes.
In the fall, the hare gives birth to babies - bunnies. This happens during leaf fall. That's what they call bunnies, deciduous plants.
The hare feeds them and runs away so that predators do not find the hares by the smell. There is enough milk for 3 days. Then the hare returns or someone else’s mother comes running and feeds all the bunnies, including strangers.
