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...
