Do bears get pressure sores when they hibernate?

Do bears get pressure sores when they hibernate? If not, why not?
Answers:
Yes. But,Oil Of Olay soothes the sores if applied.
yes , why yes? dont know
no because there is a layer of fat under their skin that acts as a cusion . just like sleeping on a matress.
lol, your funny.
no.cause they have lots of fur that cushions them.
nope
Hmm..I dont know, probably
Bears are adapted to that weather, therefore they have a fat layer under their skin, just like whales, and the fur protects the direct contact to the harsh environment.
I think that they do periodically roll over in their dens to prevent this.
Bears that take naps roll over in their sleep. Hibernating bears are only sleeping so therefore they are capable of rolling over during hibernation season without getting pressure sores.
