As this develops, other tiny animals that may be seen with the naked eye help the next stage of this continuing process. As larger animals feed on the microscopic animals and the rotting vegetation, they procreate and rapidly increase their populations. This is because as most small animals suffer from voracious predators, they must make sure that their numbers increase almost immediately for the species to survive. Animals that appear higher up the food chain have more specialised feeding habits. Larger animals such as worms are eaten by songbirds or small mammals such as hedgehogs. These loveable creatures can hibernate in such places as compost heaps, piles of logs or thick ground covered hedging. These hide-outs are relatively warm throughout the winter and also contain a veritable larder stacked with prey animals waiting for them when they wake up.
