Contest | 25-Word Comment - Monkey Business | Hibernating

in hive-153970 •  13 days ago 

Hibernating in biology is a state of inactivity or slowing down metabolic activities that enter animals to avoid harsh weather conditions.

When animals hibernate their body temperature, heart rate and breathing decreases.

I've heard about animals like bears, bats, ground squirrels, etc. that hibernate but I've seen a snail especially during hibernation.

The snail retracts it into the shell and secretes a white or milky cast (epiphragam) on the shell lid and buries itself in the hole in the soil.

It is a wonder that animals can take a break for real and they are still very alive and nothing is at risk as it is a very common aspect of their lives.

I was seeing my tortoises hibernating when I was a child.

Hmm that's a sight, I didn't know tortoises also hibernates.

It's a good way to survive harsh times, weather but also a lack of food. A study of 2020 suggests that 500.000 years ago people did hibernate.
Hibernating is also invested by NASA. They want to transfer hibernating astronauts and people to MARS or wherever they like to go. A way to kill the boredom. Hibernating humans is seen like a fantasy and future dream today while it might have normal 500.000 years ago. Humans are mammals so it is possible or should I say a logic thing to do where there's no shelter and a lack of food.
