Answer:
a) Hibernation is the winter sleep. In winter some animals go into very deep sleep and during sleep metabolic rate slows down to save energy. It also lowers their body temperature than normal. It occurs for the long duration. For example, bear, tortoise, ground squirrel and many reptiles. Whereas aestivation is the summer sleep. During summer some animals go into the deep sleep to protect themselves from high temperature. It is a quite smaller duration. For example, frog, desert lizards etc.
c) Aestivation is also known as summer sleep. Animals search moist and shady places mainly to sleep. In aestivation, the homeostasis of the body is maintained to prevent excessive loss of water from the body. Hibernation is also known as winter sleep. The warm and cold-blooded animals undergo hibernation.
