How do animals reduce fever?
Loach. In summer, if the water in the stream dries up, it dives into the mud without eating or drinking, and enters a state of summer sleep.
Camel. In hot weather, camels will raise their body temperature until it exceeds the outdoor temperature. This will not sweat and reduce the evaporation of water in the body. At night, the camel's body temperature drops with the decrease of the outside temperature.
Spider. There is a spider in the desert of Beijing, Africa. They can dig their own wells. Wells are generally 40 cm deep and 25 cm in diameter. After the well is dug, weave a spider web in the well to block the sunshine outside, so that it can enjoy the cool at the bottom of the well comfortably.
Snails. There is a snail in the desert of North Africa. In summer, it often shrinks back into its shell and sleeps in the sand one by one. Wait until the weather is cold, and then drill out for activities.
Snakes. There is a poisonous snake in the desert. In summer, it hides its whole body in the sand, exposing only a pair of eyes to prey on small animals.
Tree fish. There is a fish in South Africa that can climb trees. In summer, they climb trees to enjoy the cool. Sometimes I sleep in the tree for more than two months, and then climb down when it gets cold in autumn.
(Squirrel) Raise its tail to shade its ears (Rabbit) to cool down (Bee) Fan its wings (Rhinoceros) Roll in the mud (Elephant) The nose cools down and blood flows to the brain (Chicken) Open its mouth and spread its wings to help cool down.
Generally speaking, people and animals are inactive in summer. Strangely, some animals rely on local body movements to cool down. For example, rabbits have long ears. In summer,
God, the blood flow in the ears is smoother, so the rabbit fanned its big ears to radiate the heat in its body. The long-tailed monkey always likes to shake its long tail in hot weather, because it has a special vein on its tail, which can quickly dissipate the heat generated in the body.
The summer weapon of birds and insects is their wings. The continuous high temperature will make ostriches in the desert flap their wings desperately-ostrich wings are their weapons to resist the cold and heat. The outer skin of the wings is thick, which can keep out the cold in winter, and the inner side is bare. Flapping your wings in summer can cool off the heat. Similarly, in order to cool the hive, worker bees will bring water and sprinkle it around the nest holes, while other bees will line up neatly at the entrance of the hive and fan the wind with their wings, thus speeding up the evaporation of water and taking away the heat in the hive.
Elephants are the best land animals to swim. They can swim and like to roll in the mud. More interestingly, their long noses are a magic weapon to play with water. When a group of elephants gather at the water's edge, they always use their noses to absorb water, and then spray water on their companions, which is both fun and summer. In order to reduce the exposure area of sunlight, kangaroos bow down. When the temperature exceeds 35℃, if they can't find natural water to cool down, they use their own water to cool down: licking their front paws with their tongues and evaporating saliva to lower their body temperature. Similar to kangaroos, monkeys and dogs also know how to use saliva to cool down.
The hippocampus is a rare animal that can secrete "sunscreen". Once they feel unbearable heat, they will stretch their limbs to stay still and secrete a red mucus-this is their "sunscreen". This mucus quickly turns into a hard shell, protecting the skin of hippocampus from sunlight. Walruses don't stay in the water in hot weather, but lie on the beach, constantly rubbing sand on their bodies to absorb heat and cool down.
