• When fall turns to winter and the temperature
  dips, the food sources for the wild animals
  becomes very scarce.  Some animals wait out the
  harsh conditions of winter, constantly searching
  for food and shelter.  Other animals, like the
  bear, spend the winter in hibernation.     
  Hibernation is a dormant sleep-like state.  By
  going into hibernation the bears bypass winter
  when their food supply, nuts and berries,
  disappears.  Animals like the bear would find it
  extremely difficult to find enough food during
  winter, and therefore go into hibernation.
•      During hibernation the bear cuddles up in a
  cave or in a hollowed out tree, safe from the
  dangers of winter.  In order to survive this long
  period of inactivity the bear must build up its
  body weight by accumulating fat.  In the months
  before  hibernation bears can gain up to forty
  pounds of fat per week.   A bears body goes
  through several changes once it enters
  hibernation.  Its heartbeat drops from fifty-five
  beats per minute to ten beats per minute, and the
  bears body temperature will drop from five to
  nine degrees below normal.  While in hibernation
  the bear uses  the stored energy it accumulated
  as fat to survive.  So a bear can lose from
  fifteen to forty percent of its body weight
  during the winter just by sleeping!
•      Bears will generally enter hibernation in
  early October and emerge sometime in April or
  May, when their food is plentiful again.  The
  hibernation cycle is just another unique
  adaptation of nature that allows many animals
  like the bear to survive during the severe
  conditions of winter time.
