Beahvioural Adaptations - Hibernation in Chipmunks
Beahvioural adaptations are a way for a species to increase their survival rate by modifying an aspect of their behaviour. Many animals adapt to hibernate, this is when they go into a deep sleep in the winter and do not wake up until the spring. Chipmunks have adapted over time to do this, it allows these small mammals to dramatically increase their survival rate and not have to worry about …showed first 75 words of 702 total…

The stimulus of winter is that it becomes darker and colder, which is a signal to the chipmunks to begin their hibernation.
