Sometimes don’t like the cold.

So tell me, what do they do?

So, tell me, where do they go?

If they hide away, that’s hibernation;

If they go someplace, that’s called migration.

Squirrels and hamsters hibernate.

Deer and birds and whales migrate.

Animals that hibernate

Eat all through the fall.

When winter comes they roll up

In a little ball.

They live off of the food they stored.

I wonder if they get so bored.

All winter they don’t eat or play;

All they do is sleep all day.

Animals that migrate

May travel very far.

They use their feet or wings or fins

Unless they have a car.

They travel with big groups of friends

Hoping that in the end

They’ll find some food where it’s warm

In a place away from harm.

Animals in the winter

Sometimes don’t like the cold.

So tell me, what do they do?

So, tell me, where do they go?

If they hide away, that’s hibernation;

If they go someplace, that’s called migration.
