Lungfish are a type of fish that live in Africa in rivers. They have lungs which they use to breathe. If the river that they live in dries up, they will form a cocoon of mucus and (I think) dirt, which they will stay in until it it rains again and the river fills back up with water, which may take three or four years.

Lungfish survive intense heat in a inactive state called?
A lungfish can survive intense heat by entering a period of dormancy known as aestivation. During aestivation, the lungfish burrows into mud or cocoons itself in a mucus-lined chamber, reducing its metabolic rate and conserving energy until conditions improve.

What are lungfish survive intense heat called?
Lungfish that survive intense heat are known as "aestivating lungfish." During periods of extreme drought or high temperatures, these fish can enter a state of dormancy called aestivation, in which they burrow into mud and significantly reduce their metabolic rate. This adaptation allows them to survive until conditions improve, making them resilient to harsh environmental changes.
