Understanding Hibernation

Hibernation is a natural, survival-critical process{,} triggering a physiological state similar to torpor{,} or reduced biological activity. It's not just a deep sleep{,} but a carefully regulated process to protect the animal from the harshest conditions. Through our coloring sheets{,} kids can learn about the amazing adaptations these animals have evolved to survive the coldest of winters.
