Expert Answer
Hibernation is the winter sleep in cold-blooded animals in polar regions. During hibernation, these animals suspend their metabolic activities when the external temperature becomes unfavourable. Diapause is the phenomenon seen in insects during their developmental stages. During diapause, the metabolic activities are suspended due to unfavourable conditions.
