Part 2/9:
In the Australian Alps, winter blankets the region in a stark white layer of snow that can drop to minus 20 degrees Celsius. The prominent snow gum, a hardy eucalyptus tree, thrives in these frigid conditions, enduring harsh winters and high altitudes for centuries. Alongside the resilient snow gum, unique wildlife, such as the agile marsupial wombat, braves these bitter winters. These animals adapt their behaviors, with wombats foraging during the day to find food amid deep snow.
