Black bears do not shed their summer coats for a winter color but the fur becomes thicker as fall approaches and the temperature drops.

They will also den up and go into a deep sleep (not hibernation) to conserve energy.
What types of bear hibernate?
Most bear species, including American black bears, grizzly bears, and polar bears, exhibit hibernation behaviors. During hibernation, these bears enter a state of torpor, significantly reducing their metabolic rate and conserving energy throughout the winter months when food is scarce. It's important to note that not all bears hibernate in the same way; for instance, polar bears do not hibernate in the traditional sense but may enter a denning phase during the harshest winter conditions.
How does a black bear peroar for hibernation?
Black bears prepare for hibernation in the early autumn when the air starts to be colder. They choose a spot that seems safe and warm. lt may be a hollow in a tree, a small cave in a hillside or an area that they hollow out themselves. Black bears eat as much food as they can find during the summer, so that they will have good fat reserves during hibernation. Their metabolism slows during their "sleep" so they use less calories.
