In the article “Can Humans Hibernate?” Sheena L. Faherty, a Ph.D. candidate in the Biology Department at Duke University, and a blogger, questions about humans and hibernation. She begins telling a short, but questionable event for investigators on how a teenager that flew hidden in the wheel of an airplane could have “survived the freezing temperatures and low-oxygen conditions of the unpressurized compartment” (Faherty). She points out that the most probable theory is that he went into a “state of hibernation.” Faherty begins talking about an only know primate capable of hibernation, the fat-tailed dwarf lemur. This primate can spend many months of the year on state of hibernation, an “extreme survival tactic [that is some animals use] when the temperatures go down than normal or there is scarcity of resources. Hibernation involves physical changes in the body such as low temperatures, decrease of brain activity. Faherty states that animals that hibernate “look dead”. All this happens in the dwarf lemur. Some changes that occur in hibernation can lead to fatal consequences to non-hibernating species.
