1. Animals that undergo hibernation
Answers
Explanation:
I think bears will sleep in winter
and squirrels too It stored its food and hibernates like for 2-3 days then works again by storing food the funny thing is squirrels forget where it hides the food after waking from hibernation
Mark me as brainliest please and drop some thanks please
Answer:
Many animals adapt themselves according to the changes in the environment. One such adaptation is hibernation during winter. Animals that hibernate choose various methods to tackle temperature and other issues during the cold.
Hibernation, also known as ‘winter sleep’, is a state of deep sleep or dormancy that an animal undergoes during the cold months of winter. During this phase, body metabolism and heart rate of the animal go down drastically and the animal practically sleeps for various days to months.
There are two types of hibernation, namely ‘true’ hibernation and torpor, or temporary hibernation. In true hibernation, the animal falls into such a deep sleep that it appears to be dead. The body temperature, breathing, and the heart rate drops down. Torpor is a state of short sleep, where the heart rate and body temperature goes down but the animal is able to move around. There are various types of hibernation and not all animals go into a complete state of hibernation.
Explanation:
Here are some of the animals that undergo hibernation
hibernating animals that includes mammals, amphibians, fish, reptiles, insects, birds, etc. Bees, earthworms, snails, mud turtles, butterflies and moths, gila monster, wasps , rodents all undergo hibernation.
Ground Squirrel
Duration of Hibernation: Five to six months in winter or summer (based on location)
Type of Hibernation: Torpor, Estivation
There are around sixty two species of long-bodied terrestrial rodents. Among these, the nontropical ground squirrels that are found in temperate latitudes in North American, Eurasia, and some regions in Africa are known to hibernate. Some notable species include the American red squirrel from the North and Central America’s evergreen forests, Arctic squirrels in tundra, and Mohave ground squirrels from the Mojave Desert of California.
In hibernation, they go into their dens where they lower the body temperatures so that the body temperature is only about one or two degree higher than the temperature outside. They roll into a ball with head tucked between the legs and tail on the skull. The heartbeat and breathing slows down. Once a week, the ground squirrels wake up for sometime, about 12-20 hours, post which they go into hibernation again.
Hedgehog
Duration of Hibernation: November to late March
Type of Hibernation: True hibernation
Hedgehogs are spiny mammals that are found in Europe, Africa, New Zealand, and Asia. Usually, hedgehogs maintain a constant body temperature, i.e. 35 degree centigrade during summer, but at the onset of winter, their temperature drops to 6°C in order to cope with the scarcity of food. Hedgehogs go into hibernation for about 2 to 5 months, with the males hibernating before the females. Before going into hibernation, they make a nest of leaves, grass, and various other plants. In hibernation, a hedgehog hardly breathes at all, taking one breath every few minutes. Its body temperature which is normally around 35°C, drops drastically to 10°C. With the chemical reactions reduced to 75%, the fat reserves become the only source of sustenance. In extreme circumstances, their heartbeat picks up to produce more heat, which wakes them up briefly.
