a response in which an animal’s body temperature, activity, heart rate, and breathing rate decrease during periods of cold weather.

The instinctive, seasonal movement of animals from one place to another.

Detailed explanation-1: -Hibernation is a hypothermic condition when animals save energy during cold seasons by lowering body temperature, metabolism, breathing, and heart rate. This makes it possible for an animal to survive the winter on a fat deposit that would otherwise not last the winter.
Detailed explanation-2: -: to pass the winter in a torpid or resting state. especially : to pass the winter in a torpid condition in which the body temperature drops to a little above freezing and metabolic activity is reduced nearly to zero compare estivate.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hibernation is a way animals conserve energy to survive adverse weather conditions or lack of food. It involves physiological changes such as a drop in body temperature and slowed metabolism. Research into the processes involved in hibernation could result in medical benefits for people.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hibernation or “winter sleep” is the state of inactivity or low metabolic process animals perform during winter. Aestivation or “summer sleep”, on the other hand, is the low metabolic process by the animals during summer.
Detailed explanation-5: -Background: Hibernation involves periods of severely depressed metabolism (torpor) and decreases in body temperature (Tb).
