RedFox Blog: Frozen Nature

Post 278 25/10/18

Time has flown for the world of nature. As we started blogging at the beginning of the year we now enter the last parts of Autumn and the frost returns to freeze the soil so that nature needs to close the door. But we need to have the winter because if we didn’t many virus’s that survive in the soil during the summer gets killed off during the winter. But it will be getting very cold for all the animals that survive during the summer time and so the winter signals time to hibernate. And also the birds that come here and breed and feed their young during our summer will fly away for the winter.

If we didn’t have a winter then the birds and animals that go away will be very confused. And when there is a frost will be caught out and die from the cold. Our nature needs to renew and this renewal brings with it a better natural world which brings new beginnings. Some animals have to hibernate because if they don’t then their body clocks will begin to get caught out and they become prey to other animals that usually they do not meet.

If you look at the hedgehog. The diseases that its meeting is unusual as its not adjusting to the warmer autumns we are having due to global warming. Its also falling prey to cats something that years ago would not happen ? Our climate is changing and as the hedgehog nature is not catching up and adjusting! We have to be concerned and start doing something to help nature and the creators that survive out there as our natural world warms up. Lets do some action to help!
