There is only one marsupial which truly hibernates, and that is the Mountain Pygmy possum.
Other marsupials may enter a period of torpor, which is not the same as hibernation. These marsupials include the numbat, marsupial mole and other species of pygmy possums.

Why don't koalas hibernate?
Australia has an essentially temperate climate, which means that koalas, and other marsupials, do not need to hibernate. The only marsupials which hibernate are those restricted to the high country, the Snowy Mountains area of Australia, where snow falls in winter.Koalas' food source remains constant, and they sleep 18-22 hours a day anyway, as that is the nature of their metabolism.It must be remembered that koalas are not bears, despite often being referred to as koala bears, so their physiology is quite different to that of bears, many of which do hibernate.
