8. Adaptations Seasons Cold winters Hot summers Predators Animals Plants
Heavy fur coats
Hibernation
Squirrels, chipmunks, jays store nuts and seeds

Hot summers
Predators
Decidious forests have leaves not pine needles
Lose leaves and grow them back
In the summer: broad green leaves capture sunlight and perform photosynthesis
Cool temperatures in the fall: leaves turn yellow, orange, red
Winter: lose leaves, seal up the spots where the leaves attach to the branch
