It looks like it ought to be the subject of a funny caption competition but this picture taken in China's Qilian Mountains is deadly serious.
看起來應該是一場有趣的字幕比賽的主題，但是這張在中國祁連山上拍的照片非常嚴重。

Legend has it that #onthisday in 753 BC Romulus founded Rome. The myth is depicted on the back of this coin which shows the founding twins of Rome – Romulus and Remus – being suckled by a wolf. The design may have been inspired by a statue in Rome that we know from historical sources was set up in 296 BC, shortly before this coin was made. The Romans first started to make and use silver coins around the middle of the 3rd century BC http://ow.ly/10zlRE

hibernal
hibernaculum (hi-buhr-NAK-yuh-luhm)
noun
1. Winter quarters of a hibernating animal.
2. The protective covering of an animal or plant bud that protects it during its dormant stage in the winter.
Etymology
From Latin hibernaculum (winter residence), from hibernare (to spend the winter). Ultimately from Indo-European root ghei- (winter) that is the ancestor of words such as, chimera (literally a lamb that is one winter, or one year old) and the Himalayas, from Sanskrit him (snow) + alaya (abode)
Also hibernacle.
Usage
"Ground squirrels, marmots, woodchucks and chipmunks retreat into underground hibernacula for five to seven months and cool their body temperatures by 30 to 40 deg. C." — Brian M. Barnes; How Animals Survive the Big Chill; The Washington Post; Mar 4, 1990.
"Dudley council is to create an hibernaculum for several thousand of the creatures after a tremor which hit the Black Country last year ruined their already crumbling residence." — Earth Moves For Bat Colony; The News Letter (Belfast, Northern Ireland); Aug 28, 2003.
