The vast majority of marsupials do not hibernate.

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.
