Airdate: Snow Animals

BBC Earth premieres nature special Snow Animals later this month.

This is narrated by Liz Bonnin.

Freezing temperatures. Shortages of food. Long, dark nights. Winter is tough in the natural world – unless you plan ahead. Nature’s Winter Animals reveals the clever ways animals prepare and deal with winter months, and examines the science behind their behavior. Find out how red squirrels build up a hidden stash of food. Learn how huge flocks of starlings find safety in numbers. And follow monarch butterflies as they migrate south in search of an endless summer. Packed with fascinating science and remarkable behavior, this special shows how our favourite animals make it through the harshest season of the year.

Monday, July 20 at 8.30pm on BBC Earth.
