Estivation is one form of dormancy that some animals use to conserve energy under extreme hot and dry conditions. Animals that estivate include lungfish (which estivate for up to three years), earthworms, hedgehogs, snakes, crocodiles, snails, and desert tortoises.
Q. What animal is Estivate?
Animals who estivate include the fat-tailed lemur (the first mammal discovered who estivates); many reptiles and amphibians, including the North American desert tortoise, the spotted turtle, the California tiger salamader, and the water-holding frog; certain air-breathing land snails; and some insects, including bees.

Q. What is hibernation and Estivation?
Brumation is known as the hibernation for cold-blooded animals. Estivation is when animals are dormant because weather conditions are very hot and dry. Their breathing rate, heart rate and metabolic rate decrease to conserve energy under these harsh conditions. These animals will find a spot to stay cool and shaded.
Q. What triggers Estivation?
Aestivation is characterized by inactivity and a lowered metabolic rate, that is entered in response to high temperatures and arid conditions. It takes place during times of heat and dryness, the hot dry season, which are often the summer months.
