Animal Migration and Hibernation

During the winter, food is hard to find. In order to combat this, grizzly bears will go to sleep during the winter and don't use much energy. When winter is over, they wake up and are ready to eat. What is this called?

• Camouflage

• Hibernation

• Migration

• Mimicry

• Heart rate decreases

• Body temperature decreases

• Breathing slows down

• Body temperature increases

• Heart rate increases

In the summer, you can find gray whales off the coast of Alaska and northern Canada. In the winter, they can be found south off the coast of Mexico. This is an example of which response to stimuli?

• Imprinting

• Hibernation

Loggerhead sea turtles travel back to the same place every year in order to lay their eggs. What is this an example of?

• Courtship

• Hibernation

• Migration

Why does body temperature typically decrease during hibernation?

• A lower body temperature uses less energy

• It lowers because it is cold outside

• A lower body temperature uses more energy

• It lowers because it is hot outside

How are hibernation and migration similar?

• They both happen due to seasonal changes

• They both are harmful to predators

• They both happen as an adult species only
