The hibernating squirrels are ground squirrels, such as the 13-lined ground squirrel, or the arctic ground squirrel, both of the genus Spermophilus. Many other mammals also hibernate, such as hedgehogs and bats. The picture is of a non-hibernating common squirrel.

These buggers keep going about their business all year long! I can't access the link from work, so maybe it explains it better there. Exactly *which* species of squirrel are they talking about? In New York, it's cold & we've got snow all over and the squirrels have been busily visible all winter. I quickly looked it up online (www.squirrels.org of course) and no-hibernation seems to be the case for all species of North America tree squirrels. So does this Stanford guy have some lazy stoner squirrels? Wait a minute... since when do common North American tree squirrels (as shown in the picture) hibernate?
