Although winter sleep is the proverbial domain of bears, few large mammals hibernate – large bodies are easier to maintain temperature, and they also have more insulating fat tissue. Most winter sleepers are small and mobile animals, such as cheekbones, rodents and bats. In the warm, active months, they absorb huge amounts of food every day, which they would not be able to get in the winter. So they have no choice and fall into extremely deep hibernation. Biologists from the University of Fairbanks, Alaska, have found that the record-breaking hibernation is most likely the Arctic flounder, which can lower body temperature to -3 degrees.
