subconsciously make your muscles convulse strenuously in order the induce shivering‚ a process that enables your body to convert its energy storage (fat) into quick body heat. While humans can keep this up for a few hours‚ eventually they will suffer hypothermia and could possibly die if they don’t increase their body temperature. This makes you wonder what about the animals of the Arctic/Antarctic that have to deal with the extreme cold at all times. Due to this extreme weather arctic animals have developed

2001). With the use of SHC‚ a decrease in severe cortical lesions was observed (Rutherford et al.‚ 2005). By temporarily inducing mild hypothermia (-34º C) in the head of a newborn‚ the negative impact of hypoxia can be reduced. Again‚ selective head cooling is not without its adverse effects. A recent review by Geurts et al. (2013) found that “therapeutic hypothermia” may lead to an increased risk of pneumonia and sepsis. Others have stated that selective head cooling in patients with brain injury

to see‚ many livestock fell into ditches‚ quickly covered by trailing animals in a tragic chain reaction. Some animals were so weary they stood frozen in groups‚ eventually suffocated by piling snow.
