What Sonoran Desert animals hibernate?

Answer 1

Most reptiles and amphibians in the Sonoran Desert hibernate during the coldest months of winter and estivate (summer hibernation) during the hottest summer months. Few, if any, mammals have a need to hibernate as the weather is quite mild in winter.

Answer 2

Some mammals in cold deserts do hibernate and some animals in hot deserts will hibernate (estivate) during the hottest time of the year. Even in hot deserts during the winter most reptiles hibernate.
