Moreover, ground squirrels have to awaken about every week for about a day, eat stored food, pass waste, and then return to hibernation. They continue this cycle all winter. Bears donât do this. Bears can go for more than 100 days without eating, drinking, or passing waste. Amazing! Another difference: True hibernators like ground squirrels awaken slowly. However, bears can awaken very easily during their denning period. (Note to self when hiking during the winter!)

While there was always that within the show, the focus was on other parts of the storyline. The first season had the focus on the vampires locked away and finding out about the townâs history. The second season was mainly about The Original Vampires. It would make sense for The Vampire Diaries to end after season six.
