Amphibians are in hibernation

Small freshwater sometimes freeze to the bottom, and lived in them carp are frozen into the ice fall into the conditions of hypothermia. If the body temperature of the crucian carp does not fall below the so-called "critical point", ie, the juices of his body will remain liquid, it will come alive with otogrevanii. Temperature falls below the critical point - and the juices in the body of carp freeze. This carp die. Being in a winter sleep, the bear exists at the expense of fat reserves. During the winter he loses three to five pounds of fat: they are used to maintain body temperature, which is a sleeping bear reaches 36,5-37 °. Immersed in hibernating ground squirrels and bats also consume resources on your body metabolism, albeit very weak. They are spent and petrified of insects, lizards, frogs. The presence of this flow shows that the life processes are not terminated even numb, lifeless-looking, animal: metabolism continues. Shrews feed on various land invertebrates and small rodents, they eat frogs and lizards. In winter, they are much harder to feed themselves, but they do not fall into hibernation. These voracious animals continue to hunt, breaking through the burrows under the snow: wanted fugitives in the fallen leaves of insects are attacking the mice n voles in their nests and nival moves. Do not fall asleep for the winter and moles. They continue to lead active lifestyles and are hunted in their underground galleries. In forest ditches, buried fallen leaves and snow, the soil is almost frozen, freeze it, and little in the deciduous forests, and here the mole hunts in the upper soil layers. Where the soil freezes, he digs his hunting moves at a greater depth to leave for the winter earthworms and larvae of beetles. Of fish after somami asleep many carp. In late October and November already lie on the bottom of the carp, crucian carp and tench and carp from a non - river eels. We are usually in the rivers of the Baltic basin. Hibernate and our sturgeon: beluga sturgeon and starlet. They go deep reservoirs in the skin of their stands a thick layer of thick mucus, which fishermen call "fur coat". This "coat" for them is a kind of protection. Traces of it on the fish can still be seen in the spring after waking up. Later, it gradually washed.
