Many civilized planets with a significant Gorox population celebrate the end of the hibernation cycle with a Gorox Festival. This starts with a big feast, because the Gorox are always ravenously hungry after their hibernation. After the feast, there is usually a presentation made to catch the Gorox up on the last twenty-five years of history. Finally, no Gorox festival is complete without the presentation of old stories, and the questions of knowledge-seekers. Since the Gorox live so long, they often represent the only living memory of many historical events. Although they hibernate much of the time, they do get to meet the people of an era, and experience life for a period of roughly five years before hibernating again.
