We Have to Survive Our Winter - What do the animals do?

We were lucky to have Kyle visit our classroom. Kyle works at The Living Prairie Museum. He knows a lot about what Manitoba animals do in winter and.he came to share his knowledge with us.

We learned that bears are called "super sleepers." They "torpor" which means that they sleep most of the winter but they might wake up a few times. Did you know that?

Kyle taught us that many animals adapt to our winters just like we do!


Here is Ryan with a set of bison horns! Both females and males have horns and carry them their whole lives. Ask me what's different about animals that have antlers.
