Animal Instincts Mountain Peak Insects Fast: Beetles spend the winter season on peaks of mountains in the freezing temperature. The peaks of mountains are very cold and snowy, the temperature roughly being up to thirty degrees centigrade below zero. These insects need extra energy in the winter in order to tolerate the cold weather. During the cold winters insects fast. Whilst migrating to the mountains, an important process takes place to make sure these insects are filled with fatty substances to keep them warm during the winter and provide energy whilst they fast. During the migration they abstain from drinking water so that the ratio of water reduces in their bodies and the free-water changes form into bound-water. The conversion of water to bound-water is really important because if it were not bound then at low temperatures the water content in their bodies would freeze and their bodies would also freeze. The bound-water is gradually released over time as a water-source and source of energy for the insects. Eltemas Dua :) R4U Team For more information visit www.ramadhan4u.com
