Bats that hibernate in winter seek out dark, sheltered places like caves or hollow trees to escape the cold and conserve energy. During hibernation, their body temperature drops significantly, and their heart rate slows to just a few beats per minute, allowing them to survive on minimal fat reserves. In this dormant state, bats rely on quiet and stable conditions, waking only occasionally before resuming their deep sleep until warmer months arrive. This illustration makes beautiful moment in winter.
