Question

During the winter, animals sit into curl, why?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

During the winter animals curl into a circle. Why? They do this to keep warm. Being curled up means they have less surface area exposed to the cold, so they lose heat more slowly.

Answer 2

Animals sit into curl:

Explanation:

• The total amount of heat radiated by is determined by the surface area of the object. When animals curl, their surface area shrinks, reducing the amount of heat they radiate.
• Even when we're asleep, we roll up into a ball in the hopes of feeling warm. And you're probably not moving as much as you are in the summer. Our nervous system generates changes within our bodies to assist control body temperature in colder temperatures.
• In comparison to an adult animal, a little animal has a larger surface area for its size. As a result, small animals, such as puppies and kittens, are more susceptible to heat loss. Larger animals can maintain their heat for extended periods of time.
