Hibernation is one of the main adjustments that allow certain northern animals to survive in long winters, cold winters. Hibernation is like a very deep sleep that allows animals to save their energy when there is little or no food available. The body functions of ‘true hibernators’ go through several changes while they are hibernating. The body temperature drops and the heart rate slows down. True hibernators include the jumping mouse, little brown bat, eastern chipmunk and several ground squirrels. Other animals such as the skunk and raccoon are not considered true hibernators as they wake up in the winter and their body functions do not change
