Hi,
This means simply spend the winter in a torpid (without feeling or movement) state as of animals mentioned in the sentence.

Hi Khan,
'Take a nap' means 'have a short sleep'. This is sometimes called a 'cat nap' as cats often take a short sleep.

To sleep is to do so for a limited amount of time according to your individual requirements. (Humans.)
To hibernate is to go into seclusion and sleep/rest for an indeterminate amount of time, sometimes days, weeks, or even longer. (Animals.) _________________ Keep it simple ... Keep it interesting. |
