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.
