Darwin stated this in the 2nd edition of his Journal of researches, “Where on the face of the earth can we find a spot, on which close investigation will not discover signs of that endless cycle of change, to which this earth has been, is, and will be subjected?”

Dermal Protection in Mammalian Species
Typically, most animals of the class mammalia typically have relatively less durable outer dermal layers than other classes of animal, such as reptiles. It can be seen particularly in humans (Homo sapiens), where their skin is vulnerable to many external hazards. However, some mammals have developed independently to obtain much more durable dermal protection. Highlighted here specifically, will be the specimens within the families of Manidae and Dasypodidae
Both terrestrial and aquatic animals undergo aestivation.
Organisms that aestivate appear to be in a fairly "light" state of dormancy, as their physiological state can be rapidly reversed, and the organism can quickly return to a normal state. A study done on Otala lactea, a snail native to parts of Europe and Northern Africa shows that they can wake from their dormant state within ten minutes of being introduced to a wetter environment. Fossil records show that the act of aestivating may be several
concentrations over a period of 18 hours. This article, titled “An Assessment of the Effect of Rotenone on Non-Target Aquatic Fauna,” was authored by Dalu, Wasserman, Jordaan, Froneman, and Weyl. These people are members of the Department of Zoology and Entomology of Rhodes University, South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity, Centre for Invasion Biology, and Scientific Services Department in South Africa. Dalu et al. performed a experiments in water systems that were isolated from other waterways
