If animals are trying to conserve heat, such as in the winter, some will grow thicker coats to hold the heat in more. Some animals will also consume more during the colder months to generate heat during digestion.

Mammals have several heat conservation approaches:

  • Fur or hair which acts as an external insulation. The fur may be fluffed up by the skin when it is extra cold for more insulating value
  • Fat or blubber which acts as internal insulation.
  • Constricting blood vessels in things like fingers when it is cold
  • Burrowing or hiding in dry, wind free areas.
  • Adopting a posture (in a ball) when sleeping to reduce exposed heat loosing surfaces.
  • Gathering in crowds or herds to share heat

Do ectothemic animals control their body temperature?

Sometimes. Very small mammals will have small ears to help conserve their body heat. The exceptions to this are rabbits and hares. Also marine mammals (large and small) have lost their external ears for much the same reason. The exception to this is sea-lions who still have external ears. Large terrestial mammals have large ears as they have little need to conserve body temperature. The elephant has very large ears which they flap for the purpose of radiating away excess body heat.
