Some well known mammals that hibernate are bears, bats and ground squirrels.

Reptiles such as snakes, turtles and frogs also hibernate, but this differs from traditional hibernation because the metabolic processes are different. It is called brumation, and just means the reptile is less active, or slow. They still need to take in water and are not fully "sleeping". Hibernating slows down their bodily functions such as digestion and heartbeat, as well as their metabolism, or how they turn food and fats into energy so that they can go a whole season without eating. In order to prepare for this, the animal usually will gorge itself to build up a store of fats and eat fibrous things such as grass, tree bark, hair, etc., to for a plug in their bowels and prevent them from messing themselves during hibernation.
