hibernation
Aestivation is a state of dormancy or inactivity that some animal species enter during hot or dry periods to conserve energy and water. It is similar to hibernation but typically occurs in response to high temperatures or lack of water rather than cold temperatures. During aestivation, animals may reduce their metabolic rate, seek shelter, and limit their activity until conditions are more favorable.
A low metabolism is of course, the opposite of a high metabolism. If you have a low metabolism, your body processes food a lot slower than a high metabolism, so you gain weight a lot easier and faster. It's also hard to work of the fat.
