How long is a bear up after it hibernates?


Rate This Answer

Bears are not true hibernators. The body temperature of bears stays normal. While in hibernation they can awake and move about quite often. Yet they can exist for three months or more without food or water. Most bears begin hibernation in early October and rouse themselves in April or May. They're usually not holed up for the entire time (it's probably more appropriate to think of hibernation as a series of very long naps) but the American Black Bear can go 100 days without waking up. ChaCha!
