Most terrestrial animals dissipate excess heat by evaporation. This is done by either sweating (like humans) or by panting (like dogs).

Are mice warm blooded?

Mice, like all mammals, are considered to be warm blooded as they use endothermic methods to keep their body temperature at a near constant rate. This means that they control their temperature via internal means, such as sweating, shivering and panting.

How do mammals that DO NOT have sweat glands get rid of excess heat?

Mammals without sweat glands regulate their body heat through other mechanisms like panting, increasing blood flow to the skin, and seeking shelter in cooler environments. They may also use behaviors such as lying in the shade or taking frequent breaks in the heat to avoid overheating.


Which mammals exhibit homosexual behavior in their natural habitats?

Homosexual behavior has been observed in over 1,500 animal species, including mammals such as bonobos, dolphins, and some species of primates.


How do mammals increase heat loss from their bodies?

Mammals lose heat because they are often warmer than their surroundings, it is a law of thermodynamics that heat flows from warm to cool.


Is homosexuality observed in the natural world?

Yes, homosexuality has been observed in many species in the natural world, including mammals, birds, and insects. This behavior is considered a natural variation in sexual orientation.


What glands do mammals have that produce to cool them off when their bodies are hot?

Some mammals have sweat glands, but not all. Most furbearing animals, like dogs and cats, have no sweat glands; the fur would keep the sweat from evaporating and defeat the purpose of having them. Animals with no sweat glands cool off by panting.
