Japanese Macaque
Originally encouraged to enter the hot springs in around
1965 by locals throwing peanuts into the pools, now the monkeys enter of their
own accord and have formed a “hot tub culture”. Which monkeys are allowed to
enter the pools is decided by the social hierarchy, with females and their
young taking priority.
Honey bees
Most bees either die
or hibernate during the colder months, honey bees are able to keep active all
winter long. It was recently shown that they can decouple their wings from
their muscles, allowing them to vibrate muscles without moving their wings, bringing temperature of their bodies up to 44 degrree
centigrade.
Emperor penguins
In groups of thousands allow Emperor penguins to keep warm
even when the temperature drops to -40 degrree centigrade. During particularly periods, they’ll rock back onto the heels of
their feet with their toes pointing up and using their stiff tail as support, reducing the surface area in contact
with the ice, and thus minimising heat loss.
American bison
A big animal covered in a thick winter coat, with a coarse
guard hairs protecting a downy undercoat, is not the only way Yellowstone’s
bison keep warm. The geo-thermal springs might be too hot for the bison to take
a dip, but they can still take advantages of the warm steam and rocks
surrounding the geysers when winter
sets in.
Alpine marmot:
Some of the are animals simply bunker down and sit out the
coldest months without moving. The “alpine marmot “takes this to the extreme,
and after lining their burrow with new bedding, seal off the entrance with a
mixture of soil and their own faces, then bed down with the rest of the group
and enter a form of torpor for the next eight months.WOW AMAZING!
Arctic wooly bear caterpillars:
One of the most extreme survivors of the Arctic, these
caterpillars spend about 90 perecnt of their life frozen(amazed), and can take
around 14 years to grow big enough to finally pupate. As the temperature drops,
the insects produce crypto-protective compounds – such as glycerol – in their
cells. These molecules act like antifreeze, allowing them to survive to
temperatures below -60C(too very cold season)
