Some land snails aestivate by sealing themselves inside their shells with a mucous membrane to prevent water loss during dry and hot periods.
Desert tortoises may burrow into the ground to escape the heat and reduce water loss during the summer.
Some species of amphibians, such as the Australian water-holding frog, aestivate in burrows to survive extreme heat and dry conditions.
Cicadas are known for their loud buzzing sounds during the summer, but their nymphs can spend several years underground before emerging as adults.
Some rodents, such as the European hedgehog, may undergo a form of estivation during periods of extreme heat.
Lizards and snakes in arid regions may become less active during the hottest parts of the day to avoid overheating.
Certain species of land crabs, like the Christmas Island red crab, may aestivate in burrows during the dry season.
While hibernation is more common in winter for these animals, some ground squirrels may undergo periods of torpor during hot summer days to conserve energy.
