That depends upon how you define "hibernation", and some experts disagree with each other. In a strict sense, bears are not true hibernators.

No! Polar bears have never met penguins except in TV commercials (drinking soda) or in a zoo. Polar bears live in the Arctic (the North Pole) while the penguins live in Antarctica (the South Pole). See similar questions...

No. You would have to travel to the north slope of the Brooks Range where polar bears live on the edge of the broad coastal plain of the Arctic Ocean. An occasional black or grizzly bear can be seen in the hills around Fairbanks. See similar questions...

Technically, black bears do not hibernate. They enter a state of sedation referred to as torpor. Their metabolism slows down during the long winter sleep so that they do not need to eat, drink, urinate, or defecate until they emerge from their dens in late March or April. Black bears shed their footpads during the winter. You may see bears licking their tender new footpads in the spring. See similar questions...

There is always a possibility of meeting polar bears as we will be playing in their playground! However, occasions like this are rare and we always take a rifle with us just in case See similar questions...

Polar bears have a great sense of smell and can detect a dead whale or seal from twenty miles away! Since they eat mostly seals, they catch a live seal by sitting by a seal air hole in the ice and then sneak up on the seal when it comes up to breathe. Did you know polar bears don't drink water? They get all the moisture they need from the food they eat. See similar questions...

According to Polar Bears International, biologists estimate their population at 22,000 to 27,000 bears, of which around 15,000 are in Canada. See similar questions...

It would be highly unusual for a polar bear to travel that far north, though the camp operators keep weapons for such an eventuality! See similar questions...

Several terms have been used for winter dormancy in black bears, including "hibernation", "winter sleep", "torpor", or "carnivorean lethargy". The confusion arises because biologists may use the same term in different ways. "Hibernation" has sometimes been defined based upon body temperature and the animal's ability to react to external stimuli. Ground squirrels and other so-called "true hibernators" have hibernating body temperatures approaching 32º F. See similar questions...

Bears usually den up when the food sources are depleted, the snow begins to fall and they are fat enough to make it through the winter without food. The word "hibernate" is controversial in scientific circles. See similar questions...

We have both in fair supply, and we co-exist using our knowledge of their habits. Preparation and attitude is everything when encountering either species. Upon arrival at the lodge, you will be given a bear safety talk where you'll learn about being a visitor in bear country. Regarding bugs, we provide mosquito headnets, and recommend that you wear tightly woven, light clothing for maximum comfort. See similar questions...

No, tree squirrels are active all year round. You may not see them as often in the Winter, since they stay in their nests to conserve body heat.Index See similar questions...

Technically it's not hibernation, but they will slow down their body functions (they become "torpid") if the room temperature of the room they are in gets unusually low, but shouldn't just go into hibernation just because it's the winter season. If your hamster reaches this state, in most cases do not to disturb them. Let them come out of it naturally. Golden hamsters become sluggish at about 14C and torpid at about 10C.
