Hibernation is a state of prolonged dormancy that some animals enter during adverse environmental conditions, particularly cold weather. During hibernation, metabolic rates significantly decrease, allowing animals to conserve energy by reducing their need for food. This process often involves physiological changes, such as lowered body temperature and heart rate, enabling the animal to survive without eating for extended periods. Common hibernators include bears, bats, and certain rodents.
