The animals heart rate slows,breathing slows its sorta like yoga....but for months
if i remember correctly i believe that hibernation is when a animal goes to sleep while they let winter pass by.
It sleeps.
It drops during hibernation
there hearts beat slower so that makes everything in there body slow down
During hibernation, a bear's body temperature drops to about 88 degrees, 12 degrees less than a normal summer body temperature. During hibernation, bears, do not exercise, urinate, defecate, eat, or drink. The pulse is about 8 beats per minute as opposed to 40-50 beats per minute during non-hibernation time.
This is called hibernation.
An animals breathing rate during hibernation slows down. The animals heart rate also slows during hibernation. Their body temperature will drop at this time as well.
Hibernation is a state of inactivity and metabolic depression in animals characterized by lower body temperature, slower breathing, heart rate, and reduced metabolic rate. During hibernation, animals conserve energy and survive on stored fat reserves.
Hibernation is an inactive, sleep-like state for extended periods that some animals enter during extreme winters to remain alive without food for long periods. The body temperature of a hibernating animal is lower than normal. Also its heartbeat and breathing slows down considerably. In winters when the environment is very cold and food is scarce, hibernation enables these animals to remain alive without food in three ways. First the body temperature of the animals is reduced below the normal temperature, reducing the expenditure in energy in keeping the body warm. Second, lack of physical activity also cuts down on energy requirements. Finally these animals have a large reservoir of fat stored in the body which is used up during the period of hibernation. Hibernation for some animals can last for several weeks stretching across the worst period of winter. For others the hibernation may consist of several stretches of a few days interrupted by in between periods of arousal when the body temperature is restored to normal. United Nations Farms
It drops during hibernation
Bird migration and the hibernation of some animals during the cold seasons are behavioral adaptations. The physiological adaptations relate to the general functioning of the body.
Hibernation.
During hibernation, the animals body 'shuts down'. All digestion is suspended, and physical activity is almost non-existent. This serves to greatly save energy - at a time when the animals food is probably buried under several feet of snow - or their prey has migrated to another area.
