Cold weather changes everything. Life slows down, movement reduces, and survival becomes harder. While humans add layers and stay indoors, animals have their own ways of dealing with the cold. Most either move to warmer places or go into deep rest. But a few animals do something that sounds almost unreal. They freeze. And when the cold passes, they start moving again.
This ability is not loud or dramatic. It happens quietly in nature, away from attention. These animals simply wait out the cold in their own way. Scientists have been observing this for years, and it continues to surprise people because it shows how flexible life can be.
Here are five animals that are known to freeze and return to normal when the weather improves.
