Estivation is just like hibernation - only it happens in summer instead of winter. Why do some animals settle into cool, snug spots and sink into a summertime sleep?

Some go on a long journey before they slumber; others hunker down right at home. From the pixie frog to the spotted turtle to the desert hedgehog,...

"Mama and Mommy would like Sweet Pea to settle into bed, but it's not quite time. Even though the bed is fluffy, it's not as snuggly as curling up like a pig in the mud, or as spacious as sleeping in the wide ocean like a blue whale.
