Today we woke up and our pond was frozen.. The fish in the pond were probably hibernating. When the pond freezes, they usually go into a state of hibernation, where their bodies are barely pumping blood through their whole system and if it gets too cold, they let their bodies freeze. They can survive the winter until spring.
Amphibians usually dig a hole about half of a foot long and they go into the hole, bury themselves and if their winter home is disturbed, they will leave it and go to a different place. If they can't find a different place, they will let their body freeze and wake up in the spring.
Reptiles usually go into a hole or hollow log. They will sometimes gather in groups, such as snakes. Other reptiles, such as the turtle, usually go into separate holes, with one reptile in each hole.
