Do you care if wild
animals needlessly suffer and die during wintertime? If so,
read on to learn how you can help.
Nature gave
animals various adaptations such as fur to help them survive
during cold weather. In spite of this, animals can and do
die from inclement weather. Even if they survive, they may
be very uncomfortable for weeks or months in a row.

Some animals
create their own shelter, such as by burrowing into the
ground. Many other animals will utilize a shelter if it is
available, but they may not have the ability or resources to
construct a shelter. We can help those animals; there are
billions of them.
In addition to
helping keep wild animals warm and dry, shelters provide
protection from larger predators.
On the next
page, you will see examples of how wild animals sought
manmade shelter.
