Heat transfers from a rock to an animal through conduction. When the animal comes in contact with the rock, the heat energy from the rock moves to the animal through direct contact. The rate of heat transfer depends on factors like the temperature difference between the rock and the animal, the thermal conductivity of the rock, and the duration of contact.
