Do honey bears hibernate?

The Honey Possums don't hibernate for long periods of time as bears. But under certain circumstances they have to enter a short period of hibernation to conserve energy. They are nocturnal feeders normally, but they are known to feed during the daylight hours during periods of cold weather, also to huddle together for warmth. If the cold weather is combined with food shortages, the Honey Possums will drop into a deep torpid, or sleep, to conserve energy. This sleep, or hibernation doesn't usually last more than a day at a time, which is rare for such a deep torpid, or state of hibernation. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

Do all bears hibernate in winter?

Bears hibernate during winter, but aren't sleeping the whole time. Hibernation for bears simply means they don't need to eat or drink, and rarely urinate or defecate (or not at all). There is strong evolutionary pressure for bears to stay in their dens during winter, if there is little or no food available. But bears will leave their dens on occasion, particularly when their den gets flooded or is badly damaged.

Weather does play a role. In the colder, northern parts of Alaska, bears hibernate about 7 months of the year. Bears in the warmer, coastal regions of the state hibernate for 2-5 months, with the longer hibernation time for bears raising newborn cubs.
