Snow is falling in West Yellowstone and the bears enjoy playing in it! At the Center, the bears do not hibernate as they are offered food throughout the winter. Hibernation is a reaction to the environment, so if a bear can’t find food during winter it’s better for them to conserve their energy through hibernation. In warmer climates with winter food sources, wild bears may not hibernate or may hibernate for a shortened time period.
