yes
unlike bears, they have a different systems. they are scavengers, and they live in warmer climates. p.s. its skunks.
Raccoons and skunks may be seen about during winter months. During the coldest and snowiest times they remain in their den and sleep. It is not a true hibernation, however, as they may arise during less severe days and forage for food.
No, they don't actually shut down, but they do sleep a lot.
No. True hibernators must lower both their heart rate AND their lower they inner core temperature. In the case of bears, they only lower their heart rate while their inner core temperature remains high. The largest true hibernators are groundhogs.
Woodchucks, ground squirrels and bats are true hibernators.
Yes, so if you notice they sleep more often in the winter, its hibernating.

Appetite suppression, specifically; avoidance of sweets such as berries and honey. Also, hibernation; they are NOT true hibernators, they are easily awakened.
