| The scientists then recorded their vital signs as they hibernated in an enclosure mimicking the cool conditions of a hibernaculum. |

|
| Instead of filling in the hole, the farmer puts a fence around it, and saves the hibernaculum, the snakes' winter home. |
|
| A mine that for ages served as New York's largest hibernaculum used to host more than 200,000 bats. |
|
| In addition to the natural landscape features, the site is also home to a garter snake hibernaculum which was present at the time the fort was established. |
|
| At bud-break in early spring, first-instars leave the hibernaculum and each mine a single leaf. |
|
| The young larvae crawl into the crevices on the twigs and branches where they spin a small, silken case, or hibernaculum, in which they remain dormant until spring. |
|
| Many of the changes that occur in the individual snake after arriving at the hibernaculum are direct results of its dependence upon the environment. |
|
| It is the winter home, or hibernaculum, to 270,000 gray bats, listed as endangered partly because the entire species hibernates in only nine caves, three of those in Tennessee. |
