État physiologique d'un homéotherme lorsque sa température corporelle s'abaisse au-dessous de la température normale. Certaines espèces d'oiseaux ont la capacité d'entrer dans une phase d'hypothermie contrôlée lorsque les ressources alimentaires se font rares, diminuant ainsi leurs besoins métaboliques et donc le seuil d'énergie nécessaire à leur survie. 2, record 1, French, - hypothermie
