Winter wildlife adaptations from Cibolo’s perspective

Winters in Texas can be unpredictable at times, and nature has a way of dealing with its unpredictability.

Animals, for example, have developed different adaptations that help them through the winters in Texas and allow them to be seen continuously by people. Some animals in the Boerne area and more specifically at the Cibolo that can still be seen throughout the winter are white-tailed deer, various birds such as hawks and great blue herons, and even fish.

White-tailed deer prepare for the colder months by consuming more food which adds layers of fat to their bodies. By the time winter comes, they will have also shed their summer coats and have grown their winter coats which insulate them from the cold.
