Otoño: plantas y animales en otoño

In autumn, New England's trees display vibrant colors as leaves turn red, orange, and golden. This change is triggered by shorter days and cooler weather. In regions without such foliage, plants still undergo changes, ceasing growth and producing seeds and fruits. Animals also adapt; some migrate to warmer climates, like snow geese moving from the Arctic. Others, like squirrels and bears, prepare for winter by storing food or finding places to hibernate. These seasonal changes highlight the adaptations of plants and animals to the fall season.
