What do Animals do in Winter?

The video explains how animals survive winter through migration, adaptation, or hibernation. It details how some animals migrate to warmer areas, while others adapt by growing thicker fur or changing color. Hibernation is discussed, highlighting how animals prepare by eating to gain fat and finding safe places to sleep.
