How do wooly bears hibernate?
they don't Male and non-pregnant female polar bears do not hibernate, but can switch over to a "Walking Hibernation" when there is not enough food. They slightly lower their body temperature and decreased heart and breathing rates.This physiological act is unique to Polar Bears no other bear can do. However, in the fall, each pregnant female digs a 'maternity den' and enters a hibernation-like state. She won't leave the den until her babies are ready to follow her while she hunts.
How have polar bears adapted to a melting ice cap?

How does hibernation protect the bears?
During the winter, food is too scarce for brown bears and black bears to survive. Hibernation is a state of extreme sleep where metabolism slows down. This reduces energy use and allows the animal to survive winter on its fat reserves alone.
How does a black bear prepare for hibernation?
== == Most bears prepare for hibernation by eating a lot. They gain a lot of weight to sustain lowered metabolic function and minimal function of organs like the heart and breathing during hibernation.

After they reach the age of two years they go off on their own
What is hibernation how does hibernation help an animal meet its needs?
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.

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.
