Hibernation is a seasonal heterothermy characterized by<strong>&nbsp;low body-temperature, slow breathing and heart-rate, and low metabolic rate.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is found in&nbsp;<strong>bats, bears, rodents etc<\/strong>. It most commonly occurs during&nbsp;<strong>winter months.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hibernation functions<strong>&nbsp;to conserve energy when sufficient food is not available<\/strong>. To achieve this energy saving, an endothermic animal decreases its metabolic rate and thereby its body temperature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hibernation&nbsp;<strong>may last days, weeks, or months<\/strong>\u2014depending on the species, ambient temperature, time of year, and the individual\u2019s body-condition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Before entering hibernation, animals need to store enough energy to last through the duration of their dormant period, possibly as long as an entire winter. Larger species become hyperphagic, eating a large amount of food and storing the energy in their bodies in the form of fat deposits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lotusarise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Animals-that-Hibernate.jpg\" alt=\"Hibernation\" class=\"wp-image-47909\" style=\"width:802px;height:auto\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The phenomenon of hibernation can be observed in which of the above kinds of animals?
