The turtle's wintertime semi-sleep is a three-step process. Before settling down, they will build up fat and slow their heart rate. While brumating, their bodily functions drop to near zero while still staying alive and alert. And when they wake up in the spring, they'll be reinvigorated and ready for another year of exploration.
