Do hibernating animals need to go to the loo?
BBC Wildlife Magazine is answering a question many readers apparently wonder about each winter: whether hibernating animals need to relieve themselves during their long sleep. The piece explains how hibernators manage waste while their metabolism slows dramatically. It is a lighthearted wildlife explainer rather than breaking news, drawing on curiosity about animal biology in the cold season.
Why now: Curiosity about animal behaviour resurfaces every winter as people notice wildlife hibernating.
