Popular Science | How Animals Hibernate: L’orchestre D’hibernation Animaux @popularscience | Uploaded February 2018 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
What if hibernating animals of different species formed an orchestra and performed a symphony about their winter’s sleep? Well, they did—sort of.
This is science told as if it were Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf.”
A flute playing wood frog who freezes. A bassoon blowing painted turtle who (ahem) breathes through its butt. A trumpet blasting common poorwill who falls asleep anywhere, anytime. A harp plucking mosquito who goes into a sci-fi suspended animation. A drum thumping black bear who stays fat all winter long. And, of course, a theremin tuning Antarctic cod who goes semi-comatose in the dark.
They call themselves, “L’orchestre d’hibernation animaux.” This is their “Sleep Cycle.”
