"Losing their fur enabled our ancestors to regulate their body heat by sweating more efficiently."
"Kangaroos lick their wrists to cool down because that's where the blood flow is and it cools their."
"Humans are really good at sweating. We can vent heat, we can perspire better than any other land-based mammal in history."
"Sleep as cold as 55 degrees Fahrenheit or as hot as 110 degrees Fahrenheit. That's the secret of thermoregulation. Better sleep, better energy."
"Through thermoseverance, Celerubus keeps the water cool and significantly reduces evaporation, allowing small pockets of water to accumulate around it."
"Humans cool by sweating, which gives us a huge advantage over other animals."
"Zebras have distinct stripes to help keep them cool, because the Serengeti gets really, really hot and zebras don't get to wear sunscreen."
"The hypothalamus is the part of the brain that cools you down, that regulates body temperature."
"The head, which is about 7% of surface area, accounted for approximately 10% heat loss."
"Thermo regulation is very important for newborns because they have a very hard time regulating their own temperature."
"The erector pili muscle causes hairs to stand up when you have goosebumps."
"Eccrine sweat glands discharge directly onto the skin and are especially on palms and soles of feet."
"They are thermo regulating, which means that they keep you cool when you're too hot and they keep you hot when you're too cool."
"The human body is a system, and we control our temperature."
"For the bees, having multiple combs so they can thermoregulate and be more compactly oriented is important."
"These air sacs could have acted as a cooling mechanism, allowing heat to pass from the blood and tissues into these sacs."
"Heater bees can keep their bodies up to about 111 Fahrenheit, that's 44 Celsius."
"We humans sweat out water and a salt compound from our bodies which in turn cools us as we run, escape, fight, etc."
"Another function of our skin is it plays a very important role in heat balance, temperature regulation."
"Water buffers temperature changes."
"Sweating is the body's natural way of cooling itself down."
"About 580 kilocalories of heat will be taken away per kilogram of sweat."
"Dogs can emit sweat through their feet and through their tongue; that's it, they don't sweat anywhere else."
"Humans are distinct from our closest primate relatives in that the major mechanism that we use to cool ourselves off is to use the heat of our own bodies to vaporize water from the skin surface."
"Brachiosaurus may have been able to keep its body at a constant temperature, a phenomenon known as gigantothermy."
"Koalas can lower their body temperature on hot summer days by pressing their bodies close to the trunk."
"Scientists believe that some dinosaurs were cold-blooded, others warm-blooded, and still others not fully one or the other."
"So sweating might not always feel comfortable, but it means your body is doing a good job of keeping you cool."
"The colder the surroundings, the faster a small mammal's temperature will drop."
"Their coats are designed to regulate their body temperature."
"The dinosaurs were probably warm-blooded and that may have led to their success over things like the crocodilian relatives."
"Rats' tails are so important, they use them to balance, they use them to get excess heat out of their bodies, they use them to regulate their body temperatures."
"Elephants have big floppy ears that they use to keep cool in the hot sun."
"The skin regulates body temperature."
"Heat is mainly lost through the skin."
"The hypothalamic pre-optic area is our thermostat of our body."
"Crocodiles are ectothermic reptiles whereby they tend to regulate their body temperature according to the surrounding."
"Elephants flap their ears back and forth as another cooling mechanism."
"Elephants can sweat and that wrinkly skin through very complicated physics and biology enables them to lose heat."
"Like all cold-blooded reptiles, lizards cannot regulate their own body heat and must bask in the sun to warm themselves."
"The integumentary system is important in the maintenance of body temperature, providing insulation and evaporative cooling."
"Regulation of body temperature is a balance between heat production in the body and heat loss from the body."
"Terrapins are part of the reptile family, so they are cold-blooded and need to warm up in the sun."
"Birds are endotherms; they generate and maintain their body temperature from within."
"They have a very clever system in their ears that helps to cool them down."
"Covering themselves in the mud helps them cool down and protect themselves from the Sun."
"Elephants flap their ears to cool down. It's very effective for elephants."
"Just like elephant ears help to cool the elephant down, having large ears could also contain a lot of blood vessels... increasing the surface area to get rid of a lot of heat."
"These capillaries dilate... there's a release of heat to the outside."
"Elephants lack sweat glands, and that's why they have other methods of cooling down."
"Elephants have big ears in order to cool their brains down."
"An elephant's skin is very wrinkled, and by being wrinkled, it increases the surface area which helps the body to cool off."
"As the blood passes through the thin skin on the ears, that blood cools at the end and goes back into the body."
"Thermoregulation is the name of the homeostatic control of body temperature."
"The hairs on elephants assist in cooling them down, they act as low heat conductors and draw the heat away from the body."
"It's the most efficient cooling system that there is out there; there is no better animal at cooling themselves than the elephant."
"Snakes are what we call cold-blooded. That means that they use heat from external sources to heat them up."
"The ears function as an air conditioning unit, it helps keep them cool."
"Reptiles must bask; they're ectotherms."
"They can in fact increase their body temperature by five degrees just by staying close and cuddling."
