This film focuses on Dr. Lawrence Wang's comprehensive studies of hibernation in his laboratory at the University of Alberta. We see a Richardson ground squirrel awakening from hibernation and explore with Dr. Wang how hibernation protects this species when snow covers the food supply, and sub-zero temperatures threaten survival. Dr. Wang compares various types of hibernation and charts animal behavior at various body temperatures.
