Comme des marmottes

Comme des marmottes

Hibernation doesn't happen on a whim. Throughout the warm season, animals prepare for it by eating a lot to build up reserves and by arranging their shelter.

Burrows, hollowed-out tree stumps, crevices in rocks, old abandoned houses... Hibernating animals sleep in a very peculiar way.

Their heart beats slow down, they barely breathe, and they become very cold.

The marmot's body temperature drops to 8 degrees. The hedgehog can go an hour without breathing...

"Comme des marmottes" is available on Storyplay'r in an illustrated version, in an audio version narrated by french native storytellers. Thanks to our reading module, we can offer a reading aid for this story as well as for all the other ones, and tools for a dyslexic children adapted version.
