Why lizards hide in winter and how they survive freezing temperatures
When winter arrives, cold-blooded lizards disappear to survive freezing temperatures. They enter a dormant state called brumation, slowing their metabolism and conserving energy in insulated shelters. As spring warms, they emerge to bask, hunt, and replenish their energy reserves, demonstrating remarkable adaptation to extreme cold.
