(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Both land-dwelling and aquatic mammals hibernate. Animals that hibernate include mice, batss, ground squirrels, terrapins, snakes, frogs, and newts. A rare bird known as a Poorwill is shown to hibernate, which is a rare quality found in birds (Perkins. pers. com.). Aquatic animals can hibernate either in or out of water. Red Eared Terrapins hibernate in water, burying themselves in the mud at the bottom of a pond. Newts are capable of hibernation on land or in the water.
One animal that some consider to be a hibernator but is not a true hibernator is the bear. The reason for that is because while heart rates slow, the bear's body temperature remains relatively stable and they can be easily aroused. Other non hibernators that are thought to be a hibernator are: badgers, raccoons, and opposums (Perkins, pers. com.).
Before entering hibernation most species eat prodigious amounts of food and store energy in large fat deposits in order to survive the winter. Some species of mammals hibernate while gestating young, which are born shortly after the mother stops hibernating.
Animals that undergo a state of dormancy similar to hibernation during the summer can be said to estivate. Similar to hibernaton but for shorter time are called torpor.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | HIBERNATE, v.i. To pass the winter season in domestic seclusion. There have been many singular popular notions about the hibernation of various animals. Many believe that the bear hibernates during the whole winter and subsists by mechanically sucking its paws. It is admitted that it comes out of its retirement in the spring so lean that it had to try twice before it can cast a shadow. Three or four centuries ago, in England, no fact was better attested than that swallows passed the winter months in the mud at the bottom of their brooks, clinging together in globular masses. They have apparently been compelled to give up the custom and account of the foulness of the brooks. Sotus Ecobius discovered in Central Asia a whole nation of people who hibernate. By some investigators, the fasting of Lent is supposed to have been originally a modified form of hibernation, to which the Church gave a religious significance; but this view was strenuously opposed by that eminent authority, Bishop Kip, who did not wish any honors denied to the memory of the Founder of his family. |
