| torpor |
A unique state of half-unconsciousness known as torpor is exhibited by several bird species, the most well-known being the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird. Torpor is intended to keep birds with high, constant energy demands alive during the long dormant period of nighttime sleep. During torpor, hummingbirds make no motions and are not awakened by touch; they sleep, as we humans might say, like a log. Torpor slows down some bodily functions to conserve energy.
