What else can I help you with?
Do hamsters have odor when hibernating?
No, hamsters do not hibernate. They are not true hibernators like some other animals. Hamsters are in a state of torpor during times of rest, where they may seem inactive and sleep more, but they do not experience the same processes as true hibernation.
Are grizzly bears true hibernators?
No, they don't actually shut down, but they do sleep a lot.
Why are raccons and skunks not true hibernators?
yes
Are bears true hibernators?
No. True hibernators must lower both their heart rate AND their lower they inner core temperature. In the case of bears, they only lower their heart rate while their inner core temperature remains high. The largest true hibernators are groundhogs.
What are true hibernator?
Woodchucks, ground squirrels and bats are true hibernators.
Why are racoons and skuncs not true hibernators?
unlike bears, they have a different systems. they are scavengers, and they live in warmer climates. p.s. its skunks.
What sense is not highly developed in the Brown bear?
Appetite suppression, specifically; avoidance of sweets such as berries and honey. Also, hibernation; they are NOT true hibernators, they are easily awakened.
Where do moles sleep?
No, moles are not true hibernators in the winter. Moles are capable of entering torpor which preserves energy and allows the moles to rest during cold weather.
Tigers hibernate in the winter is that true or false?
No. Only the bear hibernates. Actually, bears do not truly hibernate, because their breathing and body temperature does not drop as much as true hibernators like ground squirrels and other rodents.
What animal is a true hibernator?
Some types of bats hibernate. Some professor used to keep bats in his refrigerator. They were alive. He'd heat them up (i.e., take them out) and study them (feed them).
Do hamsters spray like a skunk?
Hamsters don't spray like skunks, but they do have strong scent glands in their rectums that they can express. This is also true of cats and dogs, incidentally, and is a way for the hamsters to mark their own territory.
What are animals that are true hibernators?
True hibernators include ground squirrels, bats, and some species of bears. These animals enter a state of deep torpor, with significantly reduced metabolic rate, body temperature, heart rate, and breathing, allowing them to survive long periods of cold weather with minimal energy expenditure.
