Winter Hi-Brrr-Nation - 106-3-1860

Oh, no, where did the animals go? Come join us in discovering where certain animals go when winter arrives. In Michigan, mammals have three choices to survive winter months: adapt, migrate, or hibernate. How do they choose their hibernaculum (hibernation site)? Let’s answer these questions together, make our own hibernaculum, and go on a hike to find possible signs of animals hibernating.
