This article is so interesting that you can't stop reading until you feel totally saturated with it. These animals missing out on their hybernation ends up seeming to be a good thing. They seem to be replenishing their species quite nicely considering they were on the brink of extinction. It's not that they aren't finding food for themselves, I don't know if they will be gaining more than normal weight than normally since they eat mostly berries and nuts. I wonder though if their life span will grow shorter by using more than the ususal amount of energy.
