Animal thinking and reasoning has always been a controversial topic because it is hard to prove. Darwin thought that animals, like humans, need to find mates, food and a path through its environment such as the woods, air or water. He believed it took problem-solving skills to accomplish these tasks. Chimpanzees, dolphins, birds, and dogs have all been studied, and testing shows that animals have the ability to think and reason. Future studies on animals may come from MRI or Pet Scans. Brain pattern studies may predict with more certainty the ability to think and reason.
Animals adapt to their environment in many different ways. One way that animals adjust to climate is through hibernation. Hibernation allows animals to maintain their life and health in an area during cold winter months.

Hibernation is a survival method given by nature to some animals to help them to survive in cold weather or when food and water are hard to come by. Some turtles hibernate for up to eight months out of the year. You should research the specific species to know their hibernation schedules and requirements.
