During hibernation, a bear's body temperature drops to about 88 degrees, 12 degrees less than a normal summer body temperature. During hibernation, bears, do not exercise, urinate, defecate, eat, or drink. The pulse is about 8 beats per minute as opposed to 40-50 beats per minute during non-hibernation time.

∙ 11y agosome animals their body temperature does drop along with their breathing rate, during hibernation. In hedgehogs if their body temperature drops below a certain
point (it is not known what temperature as its different in all hedgehogs) they will use some of their body fat to start shaking to warm up then move to a warm location.

When does animals body temperature drops?
It drops during hibernation
When does an animal's body temperature drop?
It drops during hibernation
What is the period of when an animals body temperature decreases?
I'm pretty sure that that's called hibernation :P
What do you call the hibernation during summer?
The term you are looking for is estivation. Estivation is a state of dormancy or inactivity that some animals enter during hot and dry summer months to conserve energy and survive through harsh conditions.
What happens to an animal when it hibernates?
Hibernation is an inactive, sleep-like state for extended periods that some animals enter during extreme winters to remain alive without food for long periods. The body temperature of a hibernating animal is lower than normal. Also its heartbeat and breathing slows down considerably. In winters when the environment is very cold and food is scarce, hibernation enables these animals to remain alive without food in three ways. First the body temperature of the animals is reduced below the normal temperature, reducing the expenditure in energy in keeping the body warm. Second, lack of physical activity also cuts down on energy requirements. Finally these animals have a large reservoir of fat stored in the body which is used up during the period of hibernation. Hibernation for some animals can last for several weeks stretching across the worst period of winter. For others the hibernation may consist of several stretches of a few days interrupted by in between periods of arousal when the body temperature is restored to normal. United Nations Farms
How do animals and plants adapts to the ecosystem?
- camouflage to match surroundings - saving food thru techniques like hibernation- changing body temperature to ambient temperature
What happens to the carbon dioxide and oxygen exchanged through both the lungs and the skin when an animal hibernates?
An animals breathing rate during hibernation slows down. The animals heart rate also slows during hibernation. Their body temperature will drop at this time as well.
What happens to an animals body when it goes into hibernation?
It sleeps.
During the winter animals sleep live off stored body fat and have a slower heart are called what?
This is called hibernation.
What happens to an animals body during hibernation?
The animals heart rate slows,breathing slows its sorta like yoga....but for months
Are amphibians endotherms?
endotherms are the animals (or whatever) that have internal metabolic means for regulating their constant body temperature . but amphibians have to keep themselves in an environment that match their body temperature. so they are ectotherms and not endotherms. they maintain their body temp. by changing their exposure to sunlight, contact with ground, and hibernation etc
What are the physiological behavioral and structural adaptations of three animals?
Bird migration and the hibernation of some animals during the cold seasons are behavioral adaptations. The physiological adaptations relate to the general functioning of the body.
