Not all animals can stay awake and active in the cold. Some, like the Groundhog and the Bear, have developed the incredible ability to hibernate. These coloring sheets allow your child to witness these animals snuggled up for their long winter naps.

Little ones will learn fascinating hibernation facts like how a bear's body temperature only drops by about 4°F, while a groundhog's can plunge as low as 39°F. They'll also discover how these animals store up fat and conserve energy to make it through the long winter months.
