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.
