We thought that these were rabbit
tracks because they have small front feet and big back feet for jumping. |

Our tour guide pointed out that these
were mouse tracks. She drew circles around them so we could see
them. |

Here's a bull snake in the Nature

It is Nebraska's largest type of snake. |

During our classroom time, we learned
that animals do one of three things to survive in winter. Some
animals sleep all winter. |

It's called hibernating. Snakes
and groundhogs do this. |

Some animals use their wings to fly
south. |

This is called migrating. Monarch
butterflies and some birds do this. |

Some animals stay active in the winter.
Deer, fox, some birds, and squirrels do this. These are the animal
tracks that we found. |

turtle. Turtles hibernate during the winter. |
