Here are some animals that hibernate:


1. Bats: Some bats will enter hibernation in winter, and they will lower their body temperature and metabolic rate to save energy.

2. Raccoons: Raccoons also hibernate, entering a dormant state to reduce energy consumption.

3. Sand fox: Sand foxes are arctic animals that lower their metabolic rate and body temperature during winter.

4. Bears: Polar bears, black bears, brown bears and many other bear species will enter hibernation in the cold winter to reduce energy consumption.

5. Sloths: Sloths typically spend a lot of time sleeping, including in the winter. Although they are not true hibernators, their metabolism decreases significantly in cold weather.


It should be noted that different animals may hibernate in different ways and degrees, depending on various factors such as their living environment and food supply.
