Hibernation 101
CJ December 21st, 2006
One more thing we can learn from animals, and that’s how to hibernate during the winter!
A man in western Japan survived for over three weeks while lost in the mountains. He lost conciousness after slipping and hitting his head on the way to a BBQ. His body went into a state of hibernation, body temperature falling to 71 degrees and his bodily functions all but shut down.
After he was discovered, the doctors were able to revive him and stated he would gain 100% recovery with no brain damage.
Take THAT Yogi !
