Does the animal remain active all year?

No, the animal does not remain active all year. This is because the animal is a bear, and bears hibernate during the winter months. Bears eat a lot of food during the summer and fall months, and then they store fat in their bodies to help them survive the winter. When the weather starts to get cold, bears find a cave or other sheltered spot and go to sleep. They stay asleep for several months, and then they wake up when the weather starts to get warm again.
