Dogs sleep more than us, but they wake more frequently than we do. How much and when they sleep depends on the level of activity in their environment. A dog living as a pet in the home is likely to sleep more than a dog that works for a living, like a search and rescue dog or a dog working on a farm.
In the colder winter months, some rattlesnake species enter a period of brumation, which is dormancy similar to hibernation. They often gather together for brumation in large numbers (sometimes over 1,000 snakes), huddling together inside underground rattlesnake dens or hibernacula.
Pheromone communication is a key in the garter snake population. Male snakes coming out of hibernation will sometimes produce female, breeding pheromones, tricking other male snakes into an attempt to breed with them.arter Snake Facts: Garter snakes are the most common snake in North America. All garter snakes, regardless of base color, have a side and a back stripe. The name âgarter snakeâ comes from the comparison of the serpent to the garters men wore years ago to hold up their stockings.
