"Cryptobiosis" allows organisms to live indefinitely until hostile environmental conditions improve sufficiently for survival. This is often associated with such adverse conditions as oxygen deficiency, freezing, or desiccation.

"Brumation" is also similar to hibernation, occurring in reptilian species, for as long as eight months.

"Aestivation" (or "estivation" in American English) allows animals to avoid the risk of desiccation from higher than normal temperatures .
