Pumpkins!
People carve pumpkins for Halloween as a descendant of an old Irish folk custom of carving frightening faces into turnips to ward off evil spirits and to represent the legend of Stingy Jack, an unholy soul doomed to roam the earth. When Irish immigrants brought the tradition to America, they switched to pumpkins because they were more readily available and easier to carve, transforming the tradition into the modern-day jack-o'-lantern.

This big mammal prepares to hibernate in fall.
Bear!
bears enter a state of dormancy called "torpor" in the fall, which prepares them for winter sleep, though they are not true hibernators as their body temperature doesn't drop significantly. They spend the fall season eating ravenously to build up fat reserves needed to survive the winter without food, drink, or waste elimination while in their dens. Bears typically start denning in October or November, and the length of their dormancy depends on factors like their location and if they are pregnant with cubs.
