Did you know that there are a bunch of cold-blooded animals that have adapted to live in cold-water environments in the winter?
For instance, Brook trout seek out deep pools with slow-moving water to conserve energy. The cold winter water is more oxygenated which is beneficial for aquatic inverts! 🐛

Hope y’all are enjoying the snow! It’s year of the snake 🐍, and I know they scare a lot of people but they are so cool and get a really bad rep! Did you know that snakes are great for pest control? If you have a vole in your garden, a Garter snake will take care of that for you no problem!💜

Quiz time!
What kind of turtle is this? AND what do you think it does during the wintertime?
