Answer:
DECREASED VIGILANCE
- Hibernating animals have decreased vigilance and therefore cannot quickly respond to threats
DECREASED VIGILANCE
- Awakening from hibernation can take several minutes to several hours. This makes them more exposed to predation.
HARMFUL PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS
- • It has been determined that animals bad memory after hibernating
- E.G. When ground squirrels are trained to complete a task involving memory and an energetic condition test, they perform poorly when tested again after hibernation compared to a controlled group which did the same test but did not hibernate. This shows that hibernation has a bad effect on memory.
- Immunity is also reduced when hibernating, making the animal vulnerable to infections and parasites during and shortly after hibernation.
