Deer, foxes, rabbits, etc. are all warm blooded mammals that regularly experience sub-freezing temperatures that would kill humans in a matter of hours. How do they survive?

Don’t forget, wild mammals do freeze to death. Even with the fat and fur and cuddles they can die from extreme cold weather.
They can slow metabolism, gather insulation (like humans and clothing and housing) group together, migrate further south. Etc. But they do freeze and die, edit: every year all the time. Nature is brutal, survival of the fittest.
