Hibernation is a state of inactivity, in which an animal's heart rate, body temperature, and breathing rate are decreased in order to conserve energy through the cold months of winter.

Can humans Hibernate?

Curiosity

Occasionally, seemingly miraculous cases of humans going in and out of hibernation-like states are reported. In 2006, for example, a 35-year-old man was rescued on a snowy mountainside in Japan 24 days after going missing. He seemed to have survived by entering a state of nearly suspended animation. Subsequently, the man made a full recovery.

What happens to a bears body during hibernation?

During true hibernation, the animal’s body temperature drops to match the outside temperature, and their heart rate and rate of breathing slows down. During the bear’s dormant state or torpor, their heart rate is extremely low but their body temperature is relatively high, and they won’t eat or release bodily waste.

Fun Facts!

  • One of the favorite den types for a black bear is a standing tree hollow; however logging practices of removing dead trees have made these sites scarce.
  • Bears can lose 25-40% of their body weight during hibernation – burning their fat for fuel.
