Hibernating slows down their bodily functions such as digestion and heartbeat, as well as their metabolism, or how they turn food and fats into energy, so that they can go a whole season without eating. In order to prepare for this, the animal usually will gorge itself to build up a store of fats and eat fibrous things such as grass, tree bark, hair, etc., to for a plug in their bowels and prevent them from messing themselves during hibernation. Some animals that hibernate include bears, bats, and snakes.

Snakes believe it or not hibernate in the winter as so do bears, frogs, iguanas , squirrels and chipmunks.
the animals that hibernate are unable to handle the conditions like bears they are unable to handle the drop in food supply
Hibernation depends on the climate of the habitat, temperate climates that change from hot summers to cold winters have animals that hibernate or in places where the amount of food declines during a certain time have animals that hibernate but not all animals hibernate. Also, there are species of plants that hibernate.
Most animals hibernate during the winter months when food becomes scarce and temperatures drop. Hibernate is a state of reduced metabolism and activity that helps them conserve energy until conditions are more favorable.
