Answer:

Estivation

Step-by-step explanation:

Estivation is like hibernation where the animal stays dormant to lower metabolic rate, or in other words conserve energy. It is different from hibernation because unlike hibernation which is done during cold seasons, estivation is an adaptation to hot seasons or hot days.
