Before hibernation, animals typically undergo a period of preparation that includes eating more food to build up fat reserves, which will sustain them during the dormant period. They may also seek out or create a secure den or burrow to provide shelter and protection. Physiologically, their bodies begin to slow down, with a decrease in metabolic rate, heart rate, and body temperature as they approach hibernation. Additionally, some species may exhibit behavioral changes, such as increased sleepiness or reduced activity levels.

Do bats gather their food before their hibernation?
Yes, bats typically gather food before hibernation, but their behavior can vary by species. In preparation for hibernation, many bats consume large quantities of insects to build up fat reserves.
