Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason for the results to suggest that the hypothesis is correct.

Introduction: Warm-acclimated animals such as groundhogs, bears, bats, and gophers are the animals that maintain constant body temperature and do not need external factors such as shade or sunlight. Shivering is a mechanism in response to cold. If the core body temperature goes down, shivering reflex is induced in order to maintain homeostasis. During shivering, the skeletal muscles start to shake in small movements, thereby generating warmth by spending energy
