Why Is Hibernation Important for Bears? | FOUR PAWS USA
If you've ever pulled an all-nighter or had kids or pets wake you up in the middle of the night, you are probably aware of how much of an impact sleep (or lack thereof) has on the body. But #DidYouKnow that hibernation is equally important to #bears?
And who better to help us share this message on rest and well-being than best-selling author and wellness expert, @CandiceKumai , who coincidentally shares a special connection to bears: her name "Kumai" is derived from the Japanese word "Kuma" for "Bear"!
Sadly, when bears are kept in improper conditions, they are robbed of many of their natural behaviors, such as this vital period of rest. Thus, we're raising awareness for the betterment of bears everywhere by spotlighting our global bear sanctuaries in a bracket-style competition called "March Napness."
As FOUR PAWS tracks the hibernation habits of our rescue bears, we also call attention to the poor conditions they faced prior to rescue - and celebrate their resiliency. Many of the bears experience hibernation for the first time in their lives after they arrive at our sanctuaries.
Special thanks to Candice Kumai for lending her voice in support of bears, worldwide. Join us and help #SaveTheSaddestBears by taking the pledge today: https://help.four-paws.org/en/pledge-...
