Hibernation definition, Zoology. to spend the winter in close quarters in a dormant condition, as bears and certain other animals. See more.
Hibernation is an extended period of deep sleep, or torpor, that allows animals to survive winter extremes. Reducing metabolic rate and lowering body temperature enables survival through cold periods when food is scarce or has little energy value. Hibernating species usually work hard to build up large fat reserves before they bed down, and subsist on this during their torpor.
