we commonly refer to a bear's winter repose as hibernation, it is actually a process called torpor.

@@Ihwaz13 no that’s not the difference. Adrian is right bears technically don’t go through true hibernation

I have a few things to be cleared about Kermode Bear just so there's no misinformation 1. The white fur is NATURAL 2. The white fur is NOT caused by albinism 3. The white fur is NOT a result of crossbreeding between American Black Bear and Polar Bear

Shibear: The spirit bear Pokémon Type: Ghost Shibear lives in dark caves and is very secluded. It is afraid of what will happen to it when it ventures outside. Many people hunt it because of its white, glossy fur. This creature can be very strong and protective when you go into its territory.

I only followed the brown bear during hibernation - and she was a she with twins. They have a plug, but they do poop during hibernation, leaving the den to do so. Just not very often. And a she bear is amazingly active during hibernation. They don't just plop down and sleep for months. She has to feed those babies, clean them, keep them warm and stop them from leaving the den. I love bears.
