When do taiga animals hibernate?

Taiga animals typically enter hibernation during the late fall as temperatures drop and food becomes scarce. This period can vary by species, but hibernation usually starts around late October to early November and lasts until spring, around March or April. Some animals, like bears, may experience a lighter form of hibernation, while others, such as ground squirrels, enter a deeper state of torpor. The timing and duration of hibernation depend on environmental conditions and food availability.
