According to the post, hibernation is a mechanism by which a variety of creatures stay in this state in order to save energy. It is an adaptation meant to help people survive in hostile environments, such as during the cold or a food shortage. These animals slow down their respiration and pulse rate, store fat, lower their body temperature, and look for insulated homes.Bears are not the only animals that use this method. It also has groundhogs, wood frogs, turtles, and snakes. But the most well-known for hibernating annually are bears. For four to seven months, this persists. However, India is home to bats and snails that hibernate for four to six months at a time.
