Where do the bears go when it gets cold? They go to sleep! Well… most of the time.

While American black bears do sleep during the winter, they aren’t considered true hibernators. Instead, they enter a lighter state of rest called torpor. Torpor is a state of hibernation, just less intense with a few differences.

Here’s how torpor compares to true hibernation:

🟡 Similarities
– Like true hibernators, black bears don’t eat, drink, urinate, or defecate while in torpor.
– Both torpor and true hibernation occur in winter, when food is scarce.
– In both states, body temperature drops, and breathing, heart rate, and metabolism slow down.

⚫ Differences
– True hibernators drop their body temperature dramatically, but black bears only lower theirs by 10–15°F.
– Black bears can wake up if disturbed or during warmer winter spells.
– Some animals, like hummingbirds, only enter torpor for the night, while true hibernation usually lasts for months.

Black bears usually den in hollow stumps, tree cavities, or under rock ledges. But in the Smokies, they’re unique — they often den high above ground in standing hollow trees!

Lock the doors and turn the lights down low. The Bears will open the door of your vehicle and if the door closes and they can’t get out this is what will happen.
