It's actually brumation, and refers to 'cooling' animal during Winter. If an animal is not cooled during this time, it doesn't know what time of the year it is and thus won't know it's time to start mating when the warmer months approach. Males also need to be cooled to be able to produce fertile sperm in most species.
