Hibernation slows down the heartbeat more, and is more like a coma. They are woken up less easily. Their brain waves are also different.
When in hibernation, an animal would rest(sleep) in it's habitat until it is spring. Once in hibernation, the animal's heart rate slows down. That way, the animal can save more fat to be warm during the cold winters night.
The difference between hibernation and estivation. Hibernation - when animals such as mice and bees and chipmunks and such sleep during winter and live off of fat and food energy that they store for when they go into a deep sleep. Estivation - when animals such as frogs and toads go into a deep sleep when it gets too warm.
Winter sleep is called hibernation. Hibernation is when animals (such as bears) sleep for multiple months in order to conserve energy during the winter.
No. To migrate is to move. Hibernation is to sleep through the winter months.
sleep mode.
Animals stay alive in hibernation as this is a natural process.
Hibernation is in fact a deeper sleep then that of torpor. While they both involve reduction in body temperature and heart rate, hibernation involves a metabolic depression.
I was wondering the same thing, so I researched it and found out. To put it in a nutshell, hibernation is when the body goes to "sleep" to save energy so the animal doesn't have to eat to survive when food resources are scarce as in the winter. Migration, on the other hand, is about moving to another warmer area when it's very cold during winter so that the animal has more access to food.
hibernation / sleep
The animals heart rate slows,breathing slows its sorta like yoga....but for months
Hibernation is an adaptation that allows animals to survive cold temperatures when food is scarce. Hibernating animals slow their metabolism so that they use less energy, which enables them to live off fat storage until the air is warmer.
Estivation is summer sleep; hibernation is winter sleep.
