Summary

All science classrooms discuss animals that hibernate during winter months, but few know about animals that estivate-a prolonged sleep during hot or dry periods. Dual layers of text awaken readers to the reasons estivating animals become dormant-whether it's because warm weather threatens food supply or to avoid increased body temperatures
