MEADLS MEADLS MEADLS AND I'LL BECOME A FAN? The Alpine Marmot is a kind of large ground squirrel that lives in the mountains and eats grasses, herbs, grains and small insects. During the winter, food is very hard to find. Alpine Marmots hibernate, which means that 1.)the marmots start eating other food sources, such as rabbits and mountain goats 2.)the marmots move north for the winter and live in colder temperatures 3.)the marmots' body activity increases, and they survive without eating or sleeping 4.)the marmots' body activity decreases to conserve food stored in their bodies

Hibernation is where an animal goes to sleep, so that it can save its energy. Its metabolism (body activity) decreases.

The answer would be 4) Hibernation occurs when, during winter usually (food is harder to find during winter), an animal's bodily functions begin to slow down in order to save energy it has been collecting year round. As a result it falls into a deep sleep and manages to wake up just in time to eat again! :D hope this helps!
