		In 1946, the scientific community was shocked by the discovery of a Common Poorwill that was cold to the touch and appeared not to be breathing or to have a heartbeat.
		Although poorwills do not enter true hibernation like some mammals, they use short-term 'torpor'-their body temperature drops as low as 43° F (6° C) for a few days at a time-to survive cold periods when their prey (flying insects) are unavailable.
		The 1946 discovery was clearly not the first suggestion of this strange habit in poorwills.
