'walking hibernation' means that the bears metabolism alters to a hibernation-like state which facilitates significant energy consercation. They remain active, but rely on stored fat for energy. This is a trait no other species of bear posesses.
when the polar bear enters walking hibernation, their metabolism goes to a hibernation-like level. the polar bear remains active, but relys on stored body fat. the polar bear is the only bear that does this.

Do bears dream during hibernation, and if so, what might they dream about?
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that bears dream during hibernation. Hibernating animals enter a state of reduced metabolic activity, where their body functions slow down to conserve energy. It is not known what they might dream about, if they do dream at all.
Do polar bears estivate?
No, they do not hibernate in the winter either. The female does enter a state of near hibernation for the winter months in a den where she bears her cubs. The male is active year round.
Do squirrels in captivity hibernate?
Squirrels like most mammals will hibernate if the correct environmental factors exist. Squirrels, bears, and other animals that enter a state of hibernation (or torpor), do so because of extreme low temperatures and lack of food sources. Hibernation is a state that these animals enter, to reduce their metabolism and survive desolate seasons. Since in captivity these animals will not enter such extremes it seems logical they would not enter into any state of hibernation or torpor. As long as you feed them regularly and keep the thermostat to a solid 70 degrees Fahrenheit, they will not enter hibernation.
How does hibernation happen?
Hibernation happens when the animal (most commonly bears) notice the change in weather. The change in weather, of course, is winter. As a result, they overload on fat to keep warm and because of the increase in body fat and the lack of activity it eventually falls into a deep sleep
Animals that hibrinate?
Some animals that hibernate include bears, groundhogs, and squirrels. During hibernation, these animals enter a state of reduced metabolic activity to conserve energy and survive harsh winter conditions.
How do grizzly bears have babies?
When female grizzly bears enter hibernation, the embryo implants in her uterus and begins gestation. In January or February, female grizzly bears give birth to one to four cubs (usually two). The female will care for her young inside the den until spring, when they finally step out into the world.
Why do bears eat your trash?
There are two periods of time where bears are ravenously hungry, when they come out of hibernation, and just before they enter hibernation. During these times they are looking to fill up on as much food as possible as fast as possible, and our garbage smells really good to them. The problem is, that once they realize how easy it is to get a meal from our cast off food, they will return again and again until it no longer is a viable source.
How do Polar bears prepare for winter?
Polar bears present a mixed bag of responses to winter ... a female polar bear makes a den in which to give birth and then take care of her cubs, other polar bears remain active throughout the whole year. Interestingly some polar bears enter a state which is known as walking hibernation.As the Arctic winter lasts almost half the year, hibernating for the whole winter becomes problematic - they would starve to death even with the reduced energy demand during hibernation. All of the options require that the bears fatten up when the hunting is good. They do this during the spring. summer and fall.
Do bears hibernate or they just walk around?
no they just walk around this is called torpor it is still a deep sleep but not deeper then a hibernate sleep if you want the real answer just go on raz kids.com if you want the real answer go to level M then look on hibernation then read the whole thing im reading and right now i am on level M
What does hirbernation mean?
Hibernation is a state of inactivity and lowered metabolic rate that some animals enter to conserve energy during times of food scarcity or cold temperatures. During hibernation, the animal's body temperature drops, its heart rate slows, and it reduces its overall activity level.
What do brown bears do in the winter?
True hibernators experience a marked drop in heart rateand body temperature and generally stay for a long period in a den. Polar bears instead enter a state ofwalking hibernation where their metabolism slows. Only pregnant polar bears enter a den, give birth, and emerge three months later.-They hunt along the Arctic shelfs looking for tasty seals, fish, and even humans.
What is the difference between miration and hibernation?
do you mean migration?? And if so migration is moving to a different area birds migrate south for warmer weather in the winter months. Hibernation is what bears do, they just sleep all winter.
