Question 1 Report

Which of the following conditions causes aestivation in animals?
Answer Details

Aestivation is a state of dormancy or reduced activity that animals enter to survive in hot, dry conditions or when food or water is scarce. 

Drought is a primary trigger for aestivation in animals, as it leads to water scarcity and increased temperatures.

While strong winds can be uncomfortable for animals, they don't typically trigger aestivation.

Rain is often associated with cooler temperatures and increased water availability.

Cold temperatures are more likely to trigger hibernation not aestivation.
