Amphibians living in very cold places hibernate during winter. This keeps their bodies inactivate since they live on stored food in their abdomen. Amphibians living in hot places estivate to keep their bodies inactivate. When the conditions in their environment become favorable, they come out from their resting places.
hope it might help you.....
