TOEFL Task6 実践問題 3
To prepare for hibernation, animals begin eating extra food and store it as body fat. They use this fat for energy while hibernating. Their heartbeat slows down, their body temperature drops, and their body uses minimal energy. One example of an animal that hibernates during winter is the woodchuck. Did you know that during hibernation, their hearts beat only 4 to 5 times per minute?
Another form of animal adaptation is migration. Animals such as birds and insects fly to long distances to escape very low temperatures. They also do this to find food and look for an ideal habitat for their young. Like the hibernators, the migrators prepare for the winter by being in their tip-top shape. They also eat extra food so they can fuel their bodies in traveling long distances.
Using the information and examples from the lecture, talk about how animals adapt during winter. | |
