Abstract
This paper deals with definitions of hibernation; fat, food storage, and condition of the endocrines in preparation for hibernation; onset of hibernation; temperature, circulation, metabolism, nervous system, acid-base balance, blood sugar, blood, growth, and periodic wakings, during hibernation, arousal from hibernation; physiological specializations for hibernation; and theories.Keywords
