SUMMARY:Crazy Science – Hibernation
DESCRIPTION:Crazy Science – Hibernation\nThis week’s Crazy Science dives into how animals survive winter by slowing down\, conserving energy\, and using special adaptations to stay warm. \nDiscover how hibernation works in mammals\, reptiles\, and even insects—and learn why arthropods rely on strategies like diapause\, supercooling\, and sheltering to make it through the cold months. \nThen join us in the classroom for a hands-on activity comparing fur\, blubber\, and feathers to see which insulates best when you place your hand (safely!) into ice-cold water. \n📅 December 3rd–6th\, 2025⏰ 11 AM📍 Disease Vector Education Center\, St. Augustine\, FL \nExplore how winter shapes wildlife behavior—from cozy sleepers to cold-hardy critters built for snow. \nFun Fact: Some frogs—like the wood frog—can freeze solid in winter and thaw back to life in spring! They protect their cells with natural antifreeze compounds.
