Bears hibernate in the winter (and sometimes late fall and early spring as well if it is cold enough), so that they can conserve energy while food is scarce. Bears are large creatures and it takes a lot of energy to hunt. By hibernating, bears use little energy while sleeping so that when spring comes they can feed on an abundance of prey and vegetation.
