  1. Seasons Affect Plants and Animals

  2. Many animals need to eat plants to stay alive. These animals are called Herbivores. They eat plants such as leaves, grass, flowers, seeds, fruit, and much more.(Marten, 2001).

  3. Some animals that are herbivores are Cows, deer, horses, giraffes, squirrels, monarch butterflies, rabbits, kangaroos, sheep and zebras. (University of Connecticut, n.d.). Some mammals, such as Monkeys and Gorillas, are herbivores as they only eat fruit and leaves (University of Connecticut, n.d.).

  5. Monarch Butterfly Monarch butterflies like the warm weather. Baby caterpillars that turn into Monarch butterflies are called ‘larvae’ (National Geographic, 2013a). Larvae eat a plant called ‘milkweed’ to survive. This plant grows in the warm weather of Summer (National Geographic, 2013a). Hope, R. (n.d.) Monarch Butterfly. National Geographic.

  6. Monarch butterflies die in the winter weather as it is too cold. They find it hard to eat in winter as milkweed doesn’t grow a lot. (National Geographic, 2013a). Retrieved from: http://wakpaper.com/large/Forests_wallpapers_237.jpg http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/122/0/4/Dead_Milkweed_2_by_Starsania.jpg Monarch butterflies move to another home where they can survive in the warm weather and find milkweed to eat. This is called migration. During winter, Monarch butterflies migrate from Canada to California and Mexico where it is warm. (National Geographic, 2013a).

  8. Brown Bears Brown Bears live in forested mountains, meadows, or river valleys (International Reading Association [IRA], 2005). They adapt to seasonal changes by eating lots of food in Autumn (fall season) to prepare for their Winter hibernation(IRA, 2005). Brown Bears mostly eat grass, roots, and berries. They may eat fish, insects, and ground squirrels (IRA, 2005). Retrieved from: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lxH_LPnFYrU/TVgTHdtlaZI/AAAAAAAAArI/vTAL-iY7LFU/s1600/brown-bear-sow-with-twins_4144.jpg Hibernation: Brown Bears hibernate. This means they sleep during the whole Winter season (IRA, 2005).

  9. Why do Brown Bears hibernate in winter? The plant food that Brown Bears eat does not grow often during winter and there may not be enough fish available. This is why brown bears eat a lot before winter. They need to store the food in their bodies to survive during their winter hibernation (IRA, 2005).

  10. Brown Bears curl up in their dens or caves to keep their body heat and stay warm during their winter hibernation (IRA, 2005).

  12. Red Kangaroos Red Kangaroos live in the inland forests and deserts of Australia. These are the hot and dry parts of Australia, especially during the summer time (Monroe, 2013). Retrieved from: http://museumvictoria.com.au/pages/12324/ImageGallery/vic-RedKangaroo-large.jpg They like to live near areas where there is Kangaroo Grass. This grass helps them survive during all seasons as it grows and stays green in the hot and dry summer weather (Monroe, 2013). Retrieved from: http://www.elster-creek.org.au/900/Themeda%20triandra%209009.jpg

  13. How do Red Kangaroos stay cool in the hot Summer weather? Red Kangaroos sit in the shade under large trees and bushes (Monroe, 2013). Retrieved from: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/135/357696126_8da445a1e0.jpg Red Kangaroos like to sit all day when it is hot and save their energy. They move less during the day to save their body’s water and stay hydrated (Monroe, 2013). Retrieved from: http://wildliferescuemagazine.com/uploads/3/0/8/0/3080007/5574903_orig.jpg Red Kangaroos lick their forearms to keep their bodies cool (Monroe, 2013). Retrieved from: http://www.use.com/images/s_2/Red_kangaroo_licking_its_forearm_to_cool_down_3095fbb8cae615647703_1.jpg

  14. When seasons change, Red Kangaroos like to migrate to different areas in Australia to find water and more nutritious food (Monroe, 2013). They move when there home does not enough food or water because of little rainfall (Monroe, 2013).
