Tracks are【C7】______ by their size and shape, the number of toes, the stride, and the mode of locomotion (walking, bounding, galloping, or wadding).
Blowing leaves, cones, or seeds along with falling or rolling snow can also【C8】______ interesting tracks and trails on the snow.
Tracking conditions【C9】______ with the type and amount of snow it’s best to look along the edge of a habitat, such as【C10】______ a forest meets a field, or near water’s edge.

For some insects, the ratio of light to dark may signal them to migrate to stable environments beneath the ground, below the water’s surface, or into deep water.
Other animals seek protection under the insulating blanket of winter snow. Snow hides prey from 【C13】______ and 【C14】______ dormant plants, insects, and small mammals. Deeper snow requires more energy to move through, but makes it easier for smaller animals to reach buds on tree branches.
Plants also【C15】______ to cold weather with a wide variety of survival techniques. Winter weeds that look dead and dry may have【C16】______ roots underground. Some disperse their seeds on winter winds or produce burs full of【C17】______ that get【C18】______ on the fur of passing animals.
