Hey, grandpa!! Why are you here once more? You still owe me your location? Can you share where you live? Please!
If nature were a video game, hibernation would be considered an overpowered feature that needs to be nerfed. The bear goes to sleep and its body begins shutting down, its breathing slows, metabolism drops to a crawl. For months, it lays there making calories last through the winter like few other animals can. But—there’s a built in defense mechanism. A part of a bear’s brain is still engaged with its ears and nose still activated. And if someone were to intrude upon them, to pick a fight or try to kill them, the bear can awaken in seconds and be ready to bring a ferocious fight to you. Why? Because animals intrude upon bears all the time and they need to be ready.
