    Aestivation. Also called "summer sting". Animals are in a state of extreme reduction in their vital activity during the summer months, which is an adaptation of some animals to the hot and dry seasons. For example, ground tigers (insects), African lungfish, sand lizards, steppe turtles, yellow squirrels, etc., all have summer hibernation habits.

    In Africa, there is a hibernation dog that is very sensitive to heat. In the "dog days", it always finds a cool summer resort and sleeps for more than 20 days.

    On the African island of Madagascar, there is a species of porcupine that feeds on earthworms. Due to the hot summer, earthworms cannot live in the shallow surface layer, and porcupines have no food and have to go into a long summer hibernation.

    In the rivers of Africa, the Americas and Australia live a peculiar species of barramundi. This fish is about 1-2 meters long and has both gills and lungs. When the scorching sun evaporates the river, causing a months of dryness, the barramundi burrows into the mud and sleeps until the rainy season arrives.

    South Africa does not have a kind of tree fish, and in the summer, when the "red sun is scorching", it goes ashore, climbs to the shade of the branches, and sleeps for more than a month.

    The snail in the great desert of Africa, as soon as the drought and lack of rain come in the middle of summer, it burrows into the shell and sleeps soundly, looking like an empty shell hidden in the sand. As soon as the weather turned cooler and it rained in the desert, it sucked up enough water and crawled out to move.

    The loach lives in the waters along the Danube, and when the river dries up in the summer, it burrows into the mud without eating or drinking, and goes into a state of summer hibernation, relying only on its special intestines to breathe air and sustain its life.

    Hare In western South Africa, there is a large hare, which is rich in body fat and is sensitive to heat and heat. Therefore, for more than two months in the middle of summer, it hardly eats and sleeps in the cave all day.

    Definitely not hibernate!

    Because it's a mammal! The body temperature of mammals is constant! It will not be affected by changes in the temperature of the outside environment, so there is no need to hibernate!

    And lions live in savannahs, and the temperature does not fall below 15 degrees in winter. It's not cold enough to hibernate at all.

Lions can actually swim, but because most cats don't like water by nature, they are just afraid of water. So everyone is left with the idea that lions can't swim. In some parts of Africa, in order to hunt buffalo and antelope, African lions must use water to adapt to the rainy season. >>>More
