Warm Blooded Animals: Hibernating animals build up fat reserves before the big 'sleep'. The fat is slowly consumed to keep up a regular metabolic state. Their metabolism will slow down, along with their heart rate and breathing. This slow consumption of fat keeps them from starving (they don't need a lot of energy if they aren't moving around, so less fat can be consumed and stored longer). During hibernation the animal's temperature will lower to the temperature around them. Say it's 0 C (32 F) outside, the animal's body temp will be the same ( basically they 'turn' into a cold-blooded animal). If it gets too cold more fat will be consumed to produce more heat. Some animals will wake and eat then walk around within their den to produce more heat ( but this is not 'true' hibernation. True hibernation means the animal does not wake up until environmental conditions are 'perfect'). Cold Blooded Animals: Cold blooded animals also build fat stores but unlike warm blooded animals they go into a 'dead' state. They completely stop breathing and consume much less fat than warm blooded animals. They are able to freeze their bodies and warm up again only when the outside temperature warms up. They are completely dependant on their surroundings unlike warm blooded animals who can warm their bodies up by consuming more fat. (Cold blooded animals can not hold as mach fat as a warm blooded animals can.)
Animals that hibernate in the winter are called hibernators. This includes a wide range of animals. Marmots, a bird called Common Poorwill, bears, bats, lemurs, turtles, bumblebees, snakes, snails, and hedgehogs are all hibernators.
Most animals migrate to warmer climates once the cold weather begins. Some animals have adapted to life in the taiga by hibernating when temperatures drop. Other animals have adapted to the extreme cold temperatures by producing a layer of insulating feathers or fur to protect them from the cold.
about 98.6 degrees typically but Ive heard of animals hibernating in degrees of 50 to 110
Neither. Not all animals need to be migratory or hibernating.
Warmblooded animals will avoid the cold by staying active, hibernating, or migrating. This is to keep their bodies in a heated environment.
They are called Hibernators :D
Freezing causes the water inside living cells to form sharp crystals. These crystals puncture and destroy the cellular organelles and membrane. Certain animals have 'cryoprotectants' that help reduce the damage caused by freezing.
Different animals have different reactions before earthquakes. Animals that would be hibernating would stop hibernating and come out from their holes/burrows. Dogs would dig on the ground.

Many animals stick to hibernating when the colder temperatures come about. Other animals keep warm from the cold by producing a layer of insulating feathers or fur. Animals include the red squirrel, the lynx, wolverines, bobcats, long-eared owl, snowshoe rabbits, gray wolves, and black bears.
global warming is killing the animals such as polar bears, hibernating animals and much more
What pops up in spring is flowers, animals stop hibernating,
