Hibernation helps animals survive by reducing the energy required for survival. During hibernation, animals enter a state of reduced metabolic activity, allowing them to conserve energy when food is scarce. This helps them survive through the winter months when resources are limited. Additionally, hibernation can also protect animals from predators and harsh environmental conditions.
