What is hibernation?

Hibernation is a way that some animals deal with the harsh conditions of winter , including cold temperatures and lack of food. These animals find a safe place to remain inactive until the winter ends.

These animals eat vast amounts of food before they hibernate in order to keep them alive during months of inactivity.

Bats slow their breathing to as few as 5 breaths per minute!

Bees are unable to fly when the temperature drops below 10 degrees. Honeybees huddle together in their hive for warmth.
