Hibernation

The video tutorial explains hibernation as a behavioral adaptation for winter survival. It covers true hibernators like hedgehogs, marmots, and bats, which significantly reduce their body temperature and metabolic rate. Bears, although not true hibernators, are deep sleepers who occasionally wake up during winter. Cold-blooded animals, such as insects and reptiles, also hibernate. The video concludes by prompting viewers to consider the dangers of hibernation.
