Decrease of body temperature in armadillos experimentally covered by soil
The armadillo Chaetophractus villosus does not stop breathing when experimentally covered with soil. Under that condition, there is a gradual but considerable drop in deep rectal temperature (TB): after 90 minutes, X ± SD = 1.7 ± 0.4 °C (n = 8). As soon as the soil is removed and the animal breathes...

| Sumario: | The armadillo Chaetophractus villosus does not stop breathing when experimentally covered with soil. Under that condition, there is a gradual but considerable drop in deep rectal temperature (TB): after 90 minutes, X ± SD = 1.7 ± 0.4 °C (n = 8). As soon as the soil is removed and the animal breathes open air, TB gradually increases. © 1995 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted. |
