Torpor in an animal is a state of reduced activity and metabolism like hibernation that allows animals to go longer without food. Animals like rodents, bats, and some birds undergo daily torpor periods. An animal in this state would be sluggish and unresponsive.
Hibernation is an annual ritual . Torpor is sleepiness in a similar way, but not necessarily hibernation.
Technically, yes and no. Torpor, a state of reduced metabolic activity for a short time, does happen in humans when they sleep. However, the rate of decreased metabolism and drop in temperature is pretty insignificant when compared with the likes of humming birds that undergo torpor in the evening/night. Therefore, few textbooks call the human sleep a state of torpor. The upshot is that humans DO NOT experience torpor.
don't no
Cheetahs do not aestivate, go into torpor, or hibernate. They are adapted to hot climates and rely on their speed and agility for hunting, rather than conserving energy through dormancy. They remain active year-round.
