True hibernators experience a marked drop in heart rateand body temperature and generally stay for a long period in a den. Polar bears instead enter a state ofwalking hibernation where their metabolism slows. Only pregnant polar bears enter a den, give birth, and emerge three months later.

∙ 7y agoTypically, bears hibernate in the Winter. This means that they go into a deep sleep for several months. During this time, the bear's body uses all the food it has eaten as fuel to keep the bodily processes going. This way, the bear does not have to wake up to eat until the Spring.

- Koala bears live the same way summer and winter, panda bears, this un bear of Southeast Asia, and the sloth bear of Indian subcontinent do the same.
- Some bears like the black, grizzly and cKodiak bear may hibernate for some or all of the winter.
- Polar bears present a mixed bag of responses to winter ... a female polar bear makes a den in which to give birth and then take care of her cubs, other polar bears remain active throughout the whole year. Interestingly some polar bears enter a state which is known as walking hibernation.
