The turning year shape the lives of countless animals. Turns in temperature act as triggers for behavior. Across the wild, life flows to this timeless rhythm.

Autumn is a season of preparation. Animals gather food for the lean months ahead. A number start their journeys.

The summer is a time of abundance for much of the wild. Young fatten quickly while food is rich. A great many creatures build reserves for harder times.
