Researchers found that dwarf lemurs aren't the only primates that hibernate. Two other lemurs,Crossley's dwarf lemur and Sibree's dwarf lemur, have been found to also hibernate. Scientists say these primates hibernate differently from other hibernating animals. Scientists are still unsure of what causes hibernation.
NOS Themes:
- Science is collabarative
- Science is based on evidence
- Role of motivation and curiosity
I would include more information, such as examples of other animals that also hibernate, such as bears, which are famous for hibernating.
ReplyDeleteEven though there isn't much information on this page, it is interesting that only some primates hibernate. I didn't know that any primates hibernated let alone only specific kinds. I would like to know more about this in the future.
