Animals use shelter in many ways. Birds build nests for their precious eggs, salamanders slip under fallen logs to keep their skin moist, and bats roost under loose bark to avoid the hot sun.
At this time of year, bears seek shelter in a den. Whether carefully dug weeks ahead or hastily scratched out as the snow begins to fall, bear dens are wonderful creations that provide amazing protection from elements and predators, like wolves, that may cause trouble.
Likewise, hollow trees are incredibly important for many kinds of creatures. Depending on the size of the tree and the cavity within, a hollow tree may host many kinds of birds like chickadees or wrens, or mammals like mice, squirrels, fisher, porcupine, raccoon, bobcats, and even bears!
The use of shelter is often beyond the common uses we think of for nesting or winter hibernation. In periods of high heat, bears may use dens to stay cool. Or, birds may return to hollow tree nests in winter to avoid storms and cold temperatures. Just like our homes, wildlife shelters serve many purposes in different seasons.
