Skunks do not hibernate in Maine, but they enter a state of torpor during the cold winter months. This means they become less active and may stay in their dens for extended periods, only emerging during warmer days to forage for food. They rely on fat reserves built up during the warmer months to survive until spring.
I think that skunks do but I'm not sure about cute, little chipmunks.
Skunks actually don't "hibernate" like bears do. In the winter time, you will find many skunks sharing the same den. They may go out to hunt for food from time to time but they don't hibernate. They are just less active.

well yes some turtles don't hibernate and also some people say that skunks hibernate.
Skunks do not hibernate; they become less active during the winter months but may still venture out to search for food. They rely on their thick fur and fat reserves to stay warm during the colder periods.

Yes, a skunk could potentially get into an attic to hibernate if there are adequate entry points, such as gaps or holes in the structure. Skunks are capable climbers and can squeeze through small openings, making attics a possible refuge during colder months. However, they typically prefer to hibernate in burrows or sheltered areas closer to the ground. It's important to seal any entry points to prevent skunks from accessing attics.
Um... I think you meant hibernate... and they do what mammals would do... Eat tons of food and sleep for a very long time
Not in the same sense as say, bears. Skunks will sleep in more or less burrows or trenches, but they do not hibernate in caves ( or Ice floes) like the Bears do. They are up and around most of the year.
Only the woodchuck hibernates after fattening up during the summer. Skunks and raccoons to not hibernate but remain active during the winter and continue to forage for food. If the weather becomes too harsh, they remain in their dens where they sleep until conditions improve. They have the ability to lower their body temperature and, thus, conserve energy during these periods.
Skunks are adaptable animals that can be found in a variety of climates, from forests to grasslands. They tend to prefer habitats with moderate temperatures and access to water sources. Skunks are known to be more active during warmer months and may hibernate during cold winters.
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.
