Animal of the Week: The Bear!
Winter is coming, and bears have some amazing ways to stay safe and cozy during the cold months. Let’s discover how these fluffy giants get ready for the snow! 
Winter Facts About Bears (Fun Edition!)
• Bears hibernate — that means they take the longest nap ever! They curl up in their dens and sleep for weeks without waking up.
• Before winter arrives, bears have a “super snack season.” They eat berries, nuts, fish, and honey to fill their tummies and build a warm layer of fat—like putting on a cozy winter coat!
• During hibernation, their heart rate slows down so much that it feels like they’re barely moving. It's their special way of saving energy until spring comes back.
