Endothermy enables animals to control their body temperatures via their metabolism or muscle shivering. The few exceptions were some specific ‘cold’ regions, such as the long white locks of hairs of the tail of the colobus (It has been suggested that a temperature gradient of less than 1.5°C is likely too small for meaningful heat exchange (Finally, to test whether the conclusions could have changed had the threshold of the ESA been different than 1.5°C, values of Tbs were recalculated for ESA5, that is, the cumulative body surface with at least 5°C above ambient temperature.The statistical significance of a difference between sets of data (presented as means ± 1 SEM) and of the correlation coefficients of the linear regressions have been evaluated by two-tailed The slopes of the best-fit functions correlating Tbs to M were 0.00006 (at Ta = 20–22°C), 0.00002 (at Ta = 22–25°C), and 0.0002 (at Ta = 25–27°C); none differed significantly from zero. Michel Joly (Chico Inc.) has kindly made available chinchillas and guinea pigs. The slopes of the M-Tbs (ESA1.5) relationships were 0.0004 (at Ta = 20–22°C), -0.00001 (at Ta = 22–25°C) and 0.0006 (at Ta = 25–27°C); none differed significantly from zero. The product between these percentages and SA (mAverage body surface temperature (Tbs) of the regions with the highest 20% values, as function of the animal body mass (M), for the three sets of ambient temperatures (Ta). Arctic ground squirrel, a species of ground squirrel that can be found in the Arctic and Subarctic of North America is an example of a heterothermic animal. For small mammals, except the Macroscelidae, previously identified correlates, such as climate adaptation and zoogeography explained some, but not all, T(b) apomorphies. In case of body regions facing or opposing each other, such as skin folds or plicae or the interior areas of the limbs, the heat radiated by one region can influence that opposite to it.
INTRODUCTION. However, the slopes of the M-Tbs (ESA5) relationships remained not significantly different from zero.Coefficient of variations (%) of the temperature of the effective surface area (with body surface temperatures at least 1.5°C higher than ambient, ESA1.5) as a function of the animal body mass (kg) (left panels) or of the average ESA1.5 temperature (°C) (panels at right), for the three sets of ambient temperatures (Ta).Analysis limited to the areas with the highest (top 20%) Tbs values did not reveal any systematic correlation with M (The Tbs of the head examined in isolation exceeded the Tbs of the whole body (head included) in 78% of the cases, on average by 1.4°C (± 0.2) (ESA1.5 and ESA5 averaged, respectively, 92% (± 2) and 61% (± 5) of the total body surface area SA. Jacopo P. Mortola "Thermographic Analysis of Body Surface Temperature of Mammals," Zoological Science, 30(2), 118-124, (1 February 2013) The majority of warm-blooded animals generally fit all three categories of warm-bloodedness; endothermy, homeothermy, and tachymetabolism, but some warm-blooded species do not fit all three of these criteria. The oblique line is the line of identity. This primate species from Madagascar can spend as much as 10 hours a day resting with a body temperature below 7 °C.All maps, graphics, flags, photos and original descriptions © 2020 worldatlas.com Each symbol is a different animal. The answer is clearly negative, irrespective of the type of analysis adopted.An effort was made to collect the data with the animal awake in the morning hours, to reduce the variability introduced by differences in the state of arousal and the circadian oscillation in heat dissipation (The colour of the skin or pelt makes a difference only in the amount of heat accumulated under solar radiation, which has its peak within the visible spectrum, while it is irrelevant for radiant heat emitted; in fact, the dominant emitted wavelengths are in the infrared range, quite far from the visible spectrum.
Continuous lines refer to the best-fit linear regressions through the data points.

The terms "warm-blooded" and "cold-blooded" led to the belief that there are only two categories of body temperatures and that all animals are either warm or cold. These squirrels are capable of chilling their bodies and dropping their body temperature below zero, and sometimes even to -2.9 °C during hibernation.This kind of body temperature is something you would not expect out of a mammal.
