Geocache Description:

This cache series celebrates the diversity of wildlife Connecticut has to offer. One way to characterize Connecticut wildlife is how it copes with winter. These include migrating, taking a catnap, hibernating, to torpor or continue to remain active.

The Torpors are often cold-blooded reptiles or amphibians. A torpor is a deathlike state where they appear not to be alive. One can pick the creature up without fear of being bitten as the will not wake up. You might find one of them under a rotting log or buried under frozen mud. Below are some of the Connecticut Torpors.

Note the number on inside of the cache lid. You will need this to find Winter Wildlife – Final. As always, enjoy the adventure!
