Wholesale Winter World: The Ingenuity of Animal Survival

This book looks into the fascinating world of animals that have adapted to the frigid regions of the world, from flying squirrels to grizzly bears, from torpid turtles to insects with antifreeze. The animal kingdom relies on remarkable evolutionary innovations to survive winter. Unlike humans, who must modify their environment to accommodate physical limitations, animals demonstrate incredible adaptability to a wide range of conditions. This book, by acclaimed scientist Bernd Heinrich, unravels the largely undiscovered mysteries by which nature sustains itself during winter’s harsh and unforgiving conditions.
