Challenge Question #2
The monarchs work harder in the summer so they use more energy then. They eat a lot then to store up energy. In the winter, they hibernate on the trees. When they hibernate, their bodies really show down. When they hibernate, they don't move at all, so they don't use much energy. We think that their heartbeat slows down. We also think that because there are so many of them together, they can keep warmer that way and the trees also give them shelter.
