Hibernation Timeline: Body Temperature vs Metabolic Rate

This is the same real Q10-coupled hibernation physiology as the 3D version, reduced to what actually matters for understanding the trade-off: a scrolling two-line chart of body temperature and metabolic rate against elapsed simulated time. Drag to pan back through the run, scroll to zoom into a single arousal bout or out to see the whole multi-week cycle, and click the chart to trigger a manual arousal — the same disturbance response real hibernators show when their burrow is disturbed. The Q10 coefficient, torpor set-point, burrow temperature, arousal interval and time-compression sliders all reshape both curves and the live energy-savings tally in real time.
