For # 22-24, refer your answer from the text given
Hibernation is one of the main adaptions that
allow certain animals to survive long 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 go through several changes while they are
hibernating. Body temperature drops, and the heart rate
slows.
Animals, such as the skunk and racoon, are not
considered true hibernators, as they wake up in the
winter to feed, and their body functions do not change as
much. Since they only sleep for a little bit at a time, the
term dormancy or ‘light sleeping’ is used to describe their
behavior. The largest animals to hibernate are bears.
Their heart rate may slow down from a usual 40-50 beats
per minute to 8-12 beats per minute, but their body
temperature changes very little, so they are able to wake
up quickly.
