Capitolo 78
long and deep sleep during that every muscular motion, unless
of the heart and bellows, it is suspended completely, while these also last
the compatible smaller amount is reduced to with the end
restoration of the full animal activity.
This way, also among warm-blooded animals as the bears and dormice,
indeed the hibernation happens to a very considerable degree; but it is far
more commune and more complete among creatures in cold blood which the bodies
doesn't need to be kept heated to the same degree, and with whom,
accordingly, the hibernation becomes almost a complete numbness the respiraton,
and the action of the heart that anchors is very almost reduced subsequently to
zero. Molluscs particularly, as oysters and mussels, lead a lot
the monotonous lives and without accidents, only you vary as a rule from the welcome one
change to be finished of their hulls and eaten alive; and them
powers to really live without food under adverse circumstances are
very extraordinary. Snails of sweet water and mussels, in cold time they bury
them in the mud of ponds or rivers; and hideaway of earth-snails
them in the earth or under musk and leaves. The heart then
cessations perceptibly to strike, but breath continues in a very weak
degree. The snail garden and common he/she closes the mouth of his/her hull when him
he/she wants to hibernate with a slimy coverage,; but he goes away a very small
you puncture in some place in him, as to allow to a small air to get in, and it holds on
his/her respiraton to a disdains amount. However, my experience has been that
a lot of snails go to sleep so in, and he doesn't wake up again never.
Or they is dead frozen, otherwise the breath falls so low
what he doesn't go to properly take never when spring returns. In warm
climates, are during the summer that the molluscs and other mud-obsessive
creatures go to sleep; and when they is plastered well round with clay,
they almost draws near in the tenacity of the life the more myths recorded champions
of the I toad-in-a-puncture.
