Animal Responses to Changing Seasons

The video explains how animals respond to changing seasons, which are caused by Earth's orbit around the sun. It covers the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter, detailing how animals adapt their behaviors and patterns. In spring, animals become active, breed, and find abundant food. Summer is a peak activity period with ample food and breeding. Autumn sees animals preparing for winter through migration, fur growth, and food storage. In winter, some animals hibernate, while others adapt to the cold. The video concludes with a summary of these seasonal adaptations.

What causes the different seasons on Earth?

• The Earth's magnetic field

What happens to an animal's body during hibernation?

• It starts to migrate

• It becomes more active

• Its body temperature rises

• Its heartbeat and breathing slow down

Why do some animals grow thicker fur in winter?

• To keep warm

• To blend in with the snow
