Or do they? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>1.<\/strong>  When animals hibernate, they <strong>aren\u2019t sleeping<\/strong>. When the weather is cold and food is in short supply, animals like hedgehogs, bears and bats become <strong>inactive<\/strong> to <strong>save energy<\/strong>. During hibernation their heart rates and breathing <strong>slow down<\/strong>, and their <strong>body temperature drops<\/strong>. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>2.<\/strong> To prepare for a long hibernation in which they <strong>don&#8217;t eat or drink<\/strong>, animals stuff their faces. Dormice, for example, eat so much that by the end of summer, they can be <strong>double<\/strong> their normal size. Just as well, because they can lose up to <strong>half their body weight<\/strong> during hibernation. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>3.<\/strong> Animals hibernate in lots of different ways &#8211; from <strong>snails<\/strong>, who attach themselves to a surface, cover themselves with their <strong>slime<\/strong>, and wait out winter, to <strong>hedgehogs<\/strong>, who like to <strong>build nests<\/strong> out of grass, leaves and straw, often under fallen logs. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>4.<\/strong> <strong>Squirrels<\/strong> don\u2019t hibernate because they can\u2019t build up enough <strong>body fat<\/strong>. During summer, they <strong>stash food <\/strong>in different locations. Then in winter, they sleep for up to <strong>20 hours a day<\/strong>, heading out in the early morning or late afternoon to snack on their hoards. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>5.<\/strong> In hot, dry climates, creatures like the <strong>African hedgehog<\/strong> and <strong>crocodiles<\/strong> <strong>&#8216;aestivate&#8217;<\/strong>. This is when they find a cool, safe spot and become <strong>inactive<\/strong>. Aestivation usually lasts for a <strong>shorter period<\/strong> than hibernation.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>6.<\/strong> <strong>Reptiles<\/strong> like snakes and lizards often find an <strong>unused burrow<\/strong> and settle in to wait out the cold because they are <strong>cold\u2010blooded<\/strong> (their body temperature is controlled by the environment). This is called <strong>brumation<\/strong>. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>7.<\/strong> In North America, a species of<strong> wood frog<\/strong> can survive being<strong> frozen <\/strong>and <strong>thawed <\/strong>a few times a season thanks to a unique natural substance in their <strong>blood<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>8.<\/strong> <strong>Echidnas<\/strong> hibernate in underground burrows or hollowed\u2010out logs during <strong>bush fires<\/strong> in the hot, dry Australian outback. They stay carefully hidden away until it\u2019s safe to emerge to find food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>9.<\/strong> Despite how nice it would be to curl up under a warm blanket and sleep away the cold winter months, sadly <strong>us humans can\u2019t hibernate.<\/strong> Scientists think this is because of our size. Except for <strong>bears<\/strong>, it\u2019s <strong>mostly small animals <\/strong>that hibernate.<br><br><strong>10.<\/strong> <strong>Dormice<\/strong> hold the record for the longest hibernators \u2010 up to <strong>11 months<\/strong>! In fact, the name dormouse comes from the French word <strong>\u2018dormir\u2019<\/strong> meaning <strong>&#8216;to sleep&#8217;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Competition <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.natgeokids.com\/uk\/competition\/win-geosafari-goodies\/\">Explore the natural world with Learning Resources.
