How animals learned to hibernate and why we can't do it (yet) | Aeon EssaysHibernation is a common phenomenon among mammals, involving a significant metabolic slowdown and varies widely among species.
Moonstruck: tropical mammals take their cues from lunar cyclesSome mammals are 'lunar phobic', while others thrive in bright moonlight.
Why do wet dogs shake themselves dry? Neuroscience has an answerMammals possess complex neurological mechanisms for responding to sensations through their fur, which could lead to enhanced understanding of skin sensitivity.
