If the winter has light snow, survival and productivity next spring will be high. But if deep snows e and the weather remains cold for several weeks, then the deer must spend more energy to move about, food will be harder to find, and they must then depend more on their fat reserves to pull them through. If such conditions go on for too long some will die, and only the largest and strongest are likely to survive. That is a fundamental rule of life for wild, free wandering animals such as deer. 當(dāng)然，對鹿來講，并非每個冬天都處于危難之中。如果冬天雪下得少，存活率和次年春天的繁殖力就高。但如果雪積得深，天氣連續(xù)數(shù)周寒冷，鹿活動起來就得花費(fèi)較多的能量，覓食會更難，這時它們就得更多地依賴其脂肪儲備度過寒冬。如果這種情況持續(xù)太久，有些鹿就要死亡，只有體型最大最壯的，才有可能存活。對于像鹿這樣四處自由奔走的野生動物來說，這是一條根本的生存規(guī)律。 Article6 Yes, life — and death, too — is a cycle that goes round and round, and when animals die their bodies bee food for other life forms to use by converting them into energy.
