Où s'est caché le sommeil ?
Où s'est caché le sommeil ?
"Somewhere, deep in a dark cave, a whole family of black bears was sleeping. The father, the mother and the four little cubs... Ah, but no... One of the four cubs was not sleeping. However, it had been a long time since his family had fallen asleep. Several nights. And it was going to sleep for a long time. Until spring. The little bear had tried everything. Lie on one side, then on the other. On his stomach, on his back. Head down, feet up.

Comme des marmottes
Comme des marmottes

Hibernation doesn't happen on a whim. Throughout the warm season, animals prepare for it by eating a lot to build up reserves and by arranging their shelter.

Burrows, hollowed-out tree stumps, crevices in rocks, old abandoned houses... Hibernating animals sleep in a very peculiar way.

Their heart beats slow down, they barely breathe, and they become very cold.

The marmot's body temperature drops to 8 degrees. The hedgehog can go an hour without breathing...
