Bears in cold climates sleep continuously for months each winter.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that bears in cold climates sleep continuously for months each winter?

Partly. One reference states bears' dormant periods may extend for months in winter, while another says bears pass winter in a lighter torpor and a study reports black bears hibernate up to half the year. The evidence only partially addresses whether bears sleep continuously for months each winter.
