How have animals in deciduous forests adapted to survive the winter months?

Answer:

Animals in deciduous forests have adapted to survive the winter months in different ways. Some animals migrate to warmer climates during the winter months and return to the deciduous forest when the weather is warmer and resources are more available. Other animals hibernate during the winter. They eat more during the warmer months, storing energy as body fat. During the winter, their metabolisms are slowed, allowing them to live off less energy.
