The grizzly likely slept for an extended period due to hibernation, a physiological response to colder temperatures and limited food availability. During hibernation, the grizzly's metabolic rate decreases significantly, allowing it to conserve energy while surviving on stored fat reserves. This period of dormancy helps the grizzly survive harsh winter conditions when food sources are scarce.
