Each winter brown bears in North America spend an average of 5 months inside of dens in a low activity state known as hibernation. During this time, they experience drastic body changes. They also do not eat, drink, defecate (poop), or urinate (pee) during this time. It is a wonder that the bears can survive each winter in this state without performing these essential body functions!
