Other animals seek protection under the insulating blanket of winter snow. Snow hides prey from 【C13】______ and 【C14】______ dormant plants, insects, and small mammals. Deeper snow requires more energy to move through, but makes it easier for smaller animals to reach buds on tree branches.
Plants also【C15】______ to cold weather with a wide variety of survival techniques. Winter weeds that look dead and dry may have【C16】______ roots underground. Some disperse their seeds on winter winds or produce burs full of【C17】______ that get【C18】______ on the fur of passing animals.
