Other editions of book Hidden Hibernators

What is the only bird that hibernates? How cold can a hibernating mammal become? What is estivation? In colder countries, winters can be very harsh and food is difficult to find. Many animals survive by sleeping until better weather returns. Hidden Hibernators looks at the variety of ways hibernators prepare for hibernation and how a hibernating animal’s body changes as it sleeps. The book also examines how some animals in hot countries hide away and sleep in summer to avoid drying out.

This series delivers key science curriculum requirements such as adaptation, behaviour, feeding, habitats, lifecycles and migration via interesting and unusual plants and animals. Each book features the plants and animals that best highlight the way nature has adapted to survive in these different areas. Learn about how animals adapt to survive, defend themselves through displays, and how they escape being hunted.
