Description: By September, Uinta ground squirrels can no longer be seen above ground. They go into a long period of hibernation, where they will remain until March or April. They only remain active above ground about 3 to 3½ months out of the year. Credit: USFWS / Ann Hough, National Elk Refuge volunteer. Date: 2 June 2014, 15:01. Source: Not Much Time Above Ground.
