The ground squirrel is a remarkable hibernator during winter. To survive the cold, it retreats to underground burrows where it enters a state of deep hibernation, significantly lowering its heart rate, body temperature, and metabolism. This energy-saving adaptation allows it to endure months without food. Safe in its burrow, the ground squirrel waits for the arrival of spring, showcasing nature's incredible strategies for survival.
