The way each beloved wild mammal,
bird, reptile, amphibian, fish, and invertebrate responds to winter is
of great interest to us. Perhaps it’s because we feel for the beauty
that is cast into a bleak vestige of its former summer self. Maybe it’s
the warmth of our homes that makes us sympathize with those wild
personalities exposed to the harsh elements. Or, just maybe, we
experience many of the same instinctive cues from our environment that
slow us down and remind us that it wasn’t long ago that we, too, needed
to survive such exposure.
