Some animals that hibernate include bears and groundhogs.
Oh honey, squirrel monkeys don't hibernate. They're too busy swinging through the trees and chattering away to bother with that whole winter nap thing. These little guys are active year-round, so nope, no hibernation for them.

Squirrels are not obligate hibernators,hibernation occurs on an individual basis and is influenced by environmental factors and the nutritional state of the squirrel. Also note that it is only the adult squirrels that have fat stores who hibernate the spring born juveniles don't usually have fat reserves therefore the juveniles would not hibernate
Most animals hibernate during the winter months when food becomes scarce and temperatures drop. Hibernate is a state of reduced metabolism and activity that helps them conserve energy until conditions are more favorable.
