some animals burrow thru the ground and live there during winter, cos apparently the air there is warmer than outside. So, suppose it had a white outer covering (to camouflage in the snow when it goes out to seek food). Will it get dirty if it stays in the soil? How will it get back the white dirt-less outer covering (creative, but realistic answers acceptable)
And, say the animal stays underground forever. Ok, so when the temp. rises a little, to say... about 10 degrees Celsius.
The soil gets soggy, right?
Will that affect the animal that lives there?
Your help is greatly appreciated. You are welcome to answer this even if you know at least one of the answers.
