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.

'walking hibernation' means that the bears metabolism alters to a hibernation-like state which facilitates significant energy consercation. They remain active, but rely on stored fat for energy. This is a trait no other species of bear posesses.when the polar bear enters walking hibernation, their metabolism goes to a hibernation-like level. the polar bear remains active, but relys on stored body fat. the polar bear is the only bear that does this.
Yes.
hibernation?
For black bears and grizzly bears, from spring to fall, with heightened periods when bears come out of hibernation and when they're fattening up for hibernation. For polar bears, it can be any time of the year.
Usually during hibernation.
