Are there any other animal that can tell the temperature?

Answer 1

yes, crickets can tell the temperature :

"How is this possible? Crickets, like all other insects, are cold-blooded. They take on the temperature of their surroundings. Many characteristics of cold-blooded animals, like the rate at which crickets chirp, or the speed at which ants walk, follow a special equation called the Arrhenius equation.

Crickets, like other living things, have many chemical reactions going on inside their bodies. As the temperature rises, it becomes easier to reach a certain activation or threshold energy, and chemical reactions, like those that occur during the muscle contractions used to produce chirping, can occur more rapidly. As the temperature falls, the rates of the chemical reactions inside the crickets' bodies slow down, causing characteristics, such as the chirping, to also slow down."

the equations to find the temp. are as follows:

There have been many equations published, describing the relationship between the number of chirps per second and the temperature. These equations all vary slightly, depending upon the species of cricket, but the snowy tree cricket is frequently cited as the most accurate at predicting temperature. One of the oldest and easiest-to-use cricket thermometer equations is published in the Farmers' Almanac, a famous book updated each year and used to predict the weather. It says that if you want to get the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, count the number of chirps over a 14-second time period and then add 40.

Equation 1:TF=N14 + 40

• TF is the temperature (in °F).
• N14 is the number of chirps in 14 seconds (sec).

To get the temperature in degrees Celsius, the Farmers' Almanac says to count the number of chirps in 25 seconds, divide by 3, then add 4.

Equation 2:TC

=N25 3+ 4

• TC is the temperature (in °C).
• N25 is the number of chirps in 25 seconds (sec).

These equations are good only in the range of temperatures from 55--100 degrees Fahrenheit. Outside that range, the crickets find it too cold or too hot to sing!
