Description: Studies the causes of hibernation and shows an experiment which attempts to determine the triggering mechanism of the golden-mantled ground squirrel. Explains that laboratory animals undergo the same physiological changes of reduced temperature, heartbeat, and breathing rate as their wild counterparts, thereby suggesting that the mechanism is independent of environmental influences. Demonstrates arousal signs and differentiates between hibernation and sleep.
