Animals में कुंभकर्ण: Snail can sleep for 3 years

Certain snail species exhibit an extraordinary survival tactic: hibernation (sleeping ) for up to three years. During this extended dormancy, they seal themselves within their shells, conserving moisture and reducing metabolic activity. This adaptation, akin to aestivation, helps them endure harsh conditions such as drought or extreme temperatures. By entering this state of suspended animation, snails can conserve energy and survive when resources are scarce. When favorable conditions return, they emerge from their extended slumber, resilient and ready to resume their slow-paced life. This remarkable ability highlights the remarkable adaptability of these seemingly simple yet remarkably resilient creatures.
