Some animals hibernate as a survival mechanism to conserve energy and survive harsh environmental conditions such as winter when food is scarce. By lowering their metabolic rate and entering a state of dormancy, hibernating animals can reduce their energy expenditure and wait out unfavorable conditions until resources become more plentiful.
