Labels:text | font | screenshot OCR: Amphibians that live in the desert need water in which to lay their eggs, but they often pass the time between desert rains by aestivating. Aestivation is the desert equivalent of cold weather hibernation - the animal remains dormant and reduces its energy needs. Species that use aestivation as a strategy for coping with dry desert conditions include the spadefoot toads of the southwestern US (Scaphiopus species).
