DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hibernation is an adaptation for many mammals and reptiles that allows them to survive much of the winter season. During the coldest winter months, many animals find a place such as a cave or deep burrow where they will hibernate. This keeps them protected from cold temperatures and also from predators.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hibernation is an adaptation that allows an animal to escape cold weather and food shortages over winter. This is an example of dormancy associated with mammals. Hibernation can be either predictive or consequential dormancy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hibernation is a state of minimal activity and metabolic depression undergone by some animal species. Hibernation is a seasonal heterothermy characterized by low body-temperature, slow breathing and heart-rate, and low metabolic rate. It most commonly occurs during winter months.
