Deer trying to wade thorough record-breaking snow in Leavenworth, WA
Imagine how smaller animals are struggling with this much snow.
Birds fly South.
Both warm-blooded and cold-blooded animals hibernate: some species of chipmunks, hedgehogs, bears, pika, voles, frogs, turtles, and even some fish.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.We had three feet of hard snow in 2011, and the local rabbits must have been running about on top. Because when the thaw came, all the shrubs and smaller trees had been stripped of their bark in a ring between three and four feet from the ground.

That sure rings true.
I've seen plants in urban southern AZ where gardeners tried to protect their plants from rabbits but accidentally left gaps. The rabbits explored the gaps thoroughly and stripped the plants 'to the bone' where they could -- leaving distinct patterns matching the fencing or whatever the gardeners used.
You'd think the rabbits didn't have anything better to do. Ha, ha.
