Surviving Winter: Animal Adaptation Strategies | Mountain Lake Journal

Join naturalist Mark Fraser on a nature walk to see how the animals of the Adirondack Park in upstate New York prepare for the tough winter ahead and explore how climate change could impact these survival strategies. Learn about the different survival mechanisms of animals in winter as we meet several different inhabitants of the Adirondack forest, including a pileated woodpecker, a porcupine, and a baby coywolf.

This resource can be used as a case study in a climate change or animal adaptation unit, and consists of supplementary documents and sources about how climate change is affecting animals who live in colder climates.
