Certain species of animals hibernate during cold weather in the winter. Some animals estivate during hot weather in the summer. Both hibernation and estivation are types of dormancy. An animal that is hibernating or estivating may appear to be asleep. However, dormancy is different from sleep. During a time of dormancy, an animal’s body processes usually slow down. Its heart rate decreases; it does not need to eat or drink; and it uses less oxygen than it does when it is not dormant. Some animals estivate during long periods of heat and drought when little water is available. Before going into estivation, an animal will often find a safe shelter in which to estivate. North American desert tortoises, for example, burrow below the soil before going into estivation. They remain underground until the period of heat and drought is over.

Other animal species hibernate during long periods of cold. American toads, for example, dig burrows during winter when temperatures are low and food is hard to find. However, not all frogs are capable of digging. The spring peeper frog and the wood frog take shelter in logs or under rocks and spend the winter there. Animals emerge from hibernation when the weather warms up.

Which excerpt from chapter 3 of the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde illustrates a character vs. character conflict? hosts loved to detain the dry lawyer, when the light-hearted and loose-tongued had already their foot on the threshold; they liked to sit a while in his unobtrusive company. the large handsome face of dr. jekyll grew pale to the very lips, and there came a blackness about his eyes. “i do not care to hear more,” said he. “this is a matter i thought we had agreed to drop.” “my good utterson,” said the doctor, “this is very good of you, this is downright good of you, and i cannot find words to you in. i believe you fully; i would trust you before any man alive, ay, before myself.” but i do sincerely take a great, a very great interest in that young man; and if i am taken away, utterson, i wish you to promise me that you will bear with him and get his rights for him.”
