Description
"To Sleep Until Spring " Acrylic on canvas.
I sometimes wonder why we humans in the northern hemisphere have not developed the ability to hibenate !
I do not enjoy the cold short days and long nights of winter !
The Hedgehog - such a gentle quiet creature has developed the ability to hibernate because they have a problem finding enough food in Winter Before hibernating they eat more than usual, this is stored as excess fat.Their bodies will then live off stored fat as they sleep through the winter.Hibernation allows the animal to skip over the cold, stressful seasons when food (i.e. fuel for food and heat) is scarce.
True hibernators go into such a deep sleep that they are difficult to wake and may appear dead. Their body temperature drops and breathing and heart beat slow down significantly. until Spring temperatures stir their instincts and brings them back to normal to live fully in those months of abundant food and moderate climatic conditions.
