Generally, in winter many animals, birds, whales, insects, and fishes travel to other places where the weather is warmer or they can find food, this is nothing but migration. However, to go from one place to other places there are many problems. Some animals never go anywhere and live in the same place in winter.
In winter where the blood gets congeal, the animals never get food, the weather cannot support them to live and they feel inconvenience. For this reason different animals will follow different techniques. To keep warm, animals may grow new, thicker fur in the fall. In addition, many changes occur in food, and sleep.
The animals like bats, and bears eat more food before winter comes. In addition they store some food in the body as fat.

Some animals, as squirrels, mice and beavers, gather extra food in the fall and store it to eat later.
