      They do it for the same reasons food, so animals eat lots to store up fat and hibernate through the winter months when food is scarce, and birds migrate to countries where food is more plentiful at that time of year, after all if I could fly I would definitely go to warmer countries in winter, wouldn’t you?! There may be other reasons that I don’t know of but I think that is the main one.
