During hibernation, animals enter a state of reduced metabolic activity to conserve energy. They lower their body temperature, slow down their heart rate, and breathe at a much slower rate. Animals typically store food in their bodies before hibernation begins to sustain them during this period of dormancy. Hibernating animals choose safe and sheltered locations, such as burrows or dens, to minimize exposure to cold temperatures and other dangers.
