Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Estivation is when animals are dormant because weather conditions are very hot and dry. Their breathing rate, heart rate and metabolic rate decrease to conserve energy under these harsh conditions. These animals will find a spot to stay cool and shaded.
Detailed explanation-2: -Aestivation is generally defined as a type of dormancy, which is a survival strategy used to sustain lack of food and other extreme conditions (Pinder et al., 1992; Abe, 1995; Storey, 2002). Animals that aestivate become inactive and stop feeding in response to warm temperatures.
