Animals that Hibernate Printable Pack

As the weather starts to cool down, many people, including myself, find it hard to wake up and get out of bed in the morning. Not only do humans find this hard, but many animals do too. Certain animals have their own way of coping with the cold weather. Some migrate, while others hibernate. This printable pack focuses on animals that hibernate.

When animals hibernate, they ‘sleep’; their bodies enter into an inactive state that lasts for a long time, usually the whole of winter. Some of these animals can wake for short periods to eat, but a majority of them don’t.

There are also many creative writing pages which children can use to write about where and how these animals hibernate.
