Can you name some examples of animals that estivate?

The following animals estivate:

Madagascan fat-tailed dwarf lemur

California red-legged frog

North American desert tortoise

crocodile

salamander

lungfish

snail (during the day)

squirrel and chipmunk (during the worst part of Winter)

Bees

Earthworms

Frogs and Toads

Hedgehogs

Snails

Snakes

Mud Turtles

Lizards

Reptiles estivate in the middle of summer. Because they are cold-blooded, their bodies stay the same temperature as the air around them. If it is 40 degrees outside, their bodies are 40 degrees. If the air is 110 degrees, then their bodies are, too. High temperatures plus lack of water make estivation the animal’s only chance to survive in that climate. This is a way that animals adapt to the climate they live in.
