Certain animals hibernate because food supplies become scarce during the winter months. By going into a long deep sleep, they bypass this period completely, waking up when food becomes more plentiful.
A variety of animals that hibernate include the jumping mouse, little brown bat, eastern chipmunk, woodchuck, the groundhog and certain species of ground squirrels.
