Answer:

They store it as fat

Step-by-step explanation:

proteins and carbs can both be converted into fat inside the body. When an animal eats more food than needed, the extra gets converted into fat and stored in adipose cells. During times with low amounts of food, the body can convert the fat into usable energy.
