“Each winter, they trek from inland locations to the coast—walking as far as 75 miles—where they breed and incubate their eggs.”

I think it works the other way: they leave the coast and trek inland.

Their feet don’t freeze cause they have a very good blood circulation there so their feet are always hot ! That’s why !

That’s interesting, but what I’d really like to know is how their feet don’t freeze!
