What is hibernation how does hibernation help an animal meet its needs?
Hibernation is an adaptation that allows animals to survive cold temperatures when food is scarce. Hibernating animals slow their metabolism so that they use less energy, which enables them to live off fat storage until the air is warmer.
Why do some animals hibernate in the winter?
During winters, most animals find difficulty to find food. The deep sleep during winter helps them to save their energy and cope up with the temporary food shortage. They eat as much as they can during the summers and store fat.
What does an animal hibernating mean?
Hibernation is when an animal goes to rest for the winter season to stay warm. Not all animals hibernate.Hibernating results in a deep sleep over a period of time that limits bodily functions. Many forest animals such as bears, deer, owls, and other warm blooded animals stock up on fat by eating tremendous amounts of food. Once they have enough body fat to keep warm and survive during the winter season, they hibernate.Only one animal is known to actually go into a deep sleep and not hibernate, the grizzly bear - its bodily functions do not slow as happens in hibernation, but it has special bidy functions instead.Hibernate means that a animal stocks up on food and then sleeps throughout winter.Hibernation occurs in mammals like bears and squirrels during the winter, where they store food in the fall, and then sleep throughout the entire winter season, and wake up in the spring. Otherwise, the mammals wouldn't be able to find their food in the winter, and hibernation makes them sleep and not get hungry, and slows down their heart rate and the need for food untile spring.Some species of animal hibernate during the winter, meaning they enter sort of a low-cost sleep state. They metabolize nutrients stored during the fall more slowly, keeping a lower body temperature, and breathing more slowly. It's a way to conserve energy during cold weather, instead of eating more in order to combat the cold.Hibernating means when an animal sleeps in winter and wakes up when the weather gets warmer.when it gets to cold some animals such as bears,snakes,salomanders and more go to sleep in winter and awake in spring. The animals basically store food in body to last during winter. It is a whole process of temperature. Many animals do not hibernate because they can survive the long winters.
Why do some animals go into a deep long sleep?
Animals usually hibernate because it gets too hard to find food. Hibernation/sleeping means they'll be using less energy, so they can use that to survive until there's food available again.

What is the difference between hibernation and estivation?
The difference between hibernation and estivation. Hibernation - when animals such as mice and bees and chipmunks and such sleep during winter and live off of fat and food energy that they store for when they go into a deep sleep. Estivation - when animals such as frogs and toads go into a deep sleep when it gets too warm.
Migration and hibernation are what types of behavior?
Hibernating animals are in a deep sleep and usually have slower than normal breathing, and lower body temperatures. If an animal is in a "true" hibernation state, he can be moved around, touched, and still not wake up.
Can butterfly caterpillars poo or wee when in a cocoon?

Do animals that hibernate go into a deep sleep?
Hibernation is normally seen as a deep sleep, or dormant state, so arguably, yes they do sleep deeply.If the metabolic rate is indeed the proper indicator, it would seem that hibernating American black bears show an even lower metabolic rate than sleeping bears. The related "Let sleeping bears lie" link listed below lends weight to the old adage, "Don't poke the bear".
What does not occur during a narcoleptic sleep episode?
Truly "deep" sleep does not occur during REM sleep. REM sleep is when you are dreaming. It is deeper than light sleep, but not as far down in unconsciousness as "deep" sleep.
