For example, there have reports that due to an unusually warm winter in nevada, united states, bears have not gone into hibernation and are scavenging for food in the garbage left behind by human beings. Aestivation or estivation, characterized by lowered metabolic rate and inactivity, is a response to the high heat and arid conditions.
