Hiber Day is a day of the year when the temperature is so low, it creates lots of snow that makes all the amphibians freeze and go into hibernation mode in the form of trapped in ice until the day is over. It affects cold-blooded creatures significantly but not warm-blooded ones. It usually comes around at random times during winter. Sprig and Hop Pop normally have to warn Wartwood's townfolks of its arriving to prepare the worst.
History[]
Not much is known, but every year, one amphibian is eaten by the giant weasel. As of "Snow Day", Anne has stopped this from happening by becoming the town's protector.
After all the snow melts, the amphibians are supposed to feel refreshed and renewed after their awakening.
In "Snow Day", Anne reveals to Wartwood that she's a mammal which means she's warm-blooded, and thus doesn't freeze. After hearing that one amphibian goes missing every year, she offers to watch over them during the freeze. When she gets bored, she thaws out Sprig, although he is left groggy and confused. Playing in the snow with Sprig, she gets distracted and doesn't notice frozen Polly was taken. When she notices, she and Sprig go searching for her. They find a cave, inhabited by a giant weasel. While Anne fights it off, Sprig goes to retrieve a hanging, frozen, Polly. They later discover the weasel is a mother and only takes the amphibians to feed her three young offspring. Feeling bad, Anne gives her omelet, and to her surprise, they like it and Sprig and Anne leave with Polly in tow.
Trivia[]
- In real life, not only frogs can be exposed to freezing temperatures, but they also can go into hibernation during the winter.
