Hibernation examines those animals that
cannot migrate and are forced to remain in a habitat that is
inhospitable and consequently sleep deeply for weeks or months.
Known as hibernation for winter sleep and estivation for its
summer equivalent, this unique trait involves many special
behaviors ― how do such animals prepare for sleep? where do they
sleep? how do they store energy? how do they wake up? The book
provides a thorough guide, perfect for research papers in biology
classes, for understanding the behavior and biodiversity of a
fascinating and unusual group of animals.
