Can male snakes sense when female snakes are near?

When male snakes are ready for reproduction, they approach any other snakes they encounter. They use their tongues to detect pheromones given off by other snakes to determine the sex, species and reproductive readiness of the potential mate. If the other snake is another male, a brief fight generally ensues. If the other snake is a female of the same species, ready to reproduce, the male will begin the process of mating.

Does the father dibbler get the food for the mother dibble while she is with babies?

Not at all. Dibblers are not at all monogamous, with the male mating with a frenzy that often results in them dying. Male dibblers have a very short life expectancy, due to this usual phenomenon known as "facultative male die-off". The female does not need the male to find food while she raises her joeys, and the male die-off has been theorised as a process of natural selection which allows females to raise their joeys without competition for food sources from males. It tends to not occur in habitats where food is plentiful.

Why do animals eat food with fat before the winter?

Their bodies will live off their body fat as they ‘sleep’ through winter. The animal will use up the body fat it stores and not lose any muscle. This causes the animal to come out of hibernation thinner but still as strong as it was in the fall.
