Episode notes
In this episode we take a look at hibernation and similar strategies animals have to survive the cold and other unfavorable conditions. We compare rodents, bears, reptiles, and even a species of primate and how their periods of dormancy differentiate. Then, as a bonus, we take a quick look at evidence of these strategies in the fossil record.
