The African lungfish can survive up to 5 years without food or water through a process known as estivation. It has existed for ~400 million years. Their gills have evolved to obtain oxygen from the air as well as water. During estivation they get nutrients by digest its muscle tissue. – WTF Fun Facts

Wake me up in September some time.
Estivation:
1. Prolonged torpor or dormancy of an animal during a hot or dry period.
Estivation
Estivation (or aestivation, if you're in Europe) is the summertime version of hibernation, when animals go into a state of dormancy to lessen the effects of high temperatures and/or drought. While an estivating animal's bodily rhythms do slow, they are not as fully dormant as animals who hibernate in the winter. That means they are able to more quickly awaken and respond to situations (or changes in their environment).
Animals who estivate include the fat-tailed lemur (the first mammal discovered who estivates); many reptiles and amphibians, including the North American desert tortoise, the spotted turtle, the California tiger salamader, and the water-holding frog; certain air-breathing land snails; and some insects, including bees, earthworms, and lady bugs.
