Solution
Definition:
Poikilothermic animals or cold blooded animals cannot regulate their body temperature.
Camouflage is a defense mechanism that organisms use to disguise their appearance.
Aestivation is the summer sleep which allows the organism to survive periods of high temperature.
Hibernation is the winter sleep which allows the animal to evade the cold temperature.
Advantage:
Frog, being poikilothermic, undergoes aestivation and hibernation to protect itself from harsh environmental conditions.
Through the process of camouflage, it protects itself from predators.
