Animals are starting to prepare for winter. Some animals, like the monarch butterfly, migrate, or fly south, to live in warmer temperatures. Other animals, like woodchucks and snakes, hibernate, or sleep the winter away. Still, some animals, like squirrels or deer, remain active all winter long. Those animals send the fall fattening up to get ready for the arrival of cold temperatures, when food is hard to find.
Leaves turn colors and fall to the ground.
