Hummingbirds survive cold nights by entering torpor, a deep sleep-like state where their heart rate drops from 1,200 bpm to 50, breathing nearly stops, and body temperature falls to 10-20°C, saving up to 95% of their energy; they remain motionless for hours until warmth returns, then rapidly revive within minutes to resume flight and feeding.
