A book for 7 - 10 year oldsLets Learn About Animals that HibernateAround the world, there are a lot of animals who like to sleep through the winter, or other times of the year. This action is called hibernation (hi*ber*nay*tion) . Many people think only bears do this but there are other animals who like a long nap too. You can see animals running all around digging holes and looking for nuts on the ground and other food that will help them go through the long winter months.Some animals sleep in trees, like squirrels do. Some sleep in caves or hollows, like bears do. Many of these animals try to find a nice hole in the ground because even when it is very cold outside, their home stays warm when it is underground.They want to be safe from the snow, wind and rains of springtime. Their home has to be just right and fit them so that it can stay warm as they sleep through all kinds of weather.Not all animals sleep the whole winter so let us look at the two kinds of hibernating animals, light sleepers and deep sleepers.Light Sleepers are animals like bears and raccoons that wake up from time to time. On warm days they may want to go out and take a walk around. Heavy Sleepers are called True Hibernators. They go into a very deep sleep in the winter. If you saw them they might even look like they were not alive any more, that is how slow they breathe.Lets find out more about these two types of animals. You may even have seen some getting ready for Winter near where you live. Can you guess what some of them are before you read more? Why not write them down and see how many you can guess.We will learn a little about each animal and how it prepares for winter.Table of ContentsHibernationLight SleepersBearsChipmunksGround SquirrlesSkunksRaccoonsHedgehogsCrocodilesTurtlesBeesHeavy SleepersMarmotsPrairie DogsHamstersFrogsGarter SnakesBats
