Facts

  • Enters a state of aestivation in stream of lake mud to avoid dessication (Ref: ADW)
  • Non-aestivating animals are capable of long-term (2.2-5.2 years) persistence without feeding and can survive losses of 45-86% percent of their body mass; have large fat reserves in their tails (Ref: Luhr2008)
