Which warm-blooded animal has the highest body temperature? and got the best answer
Answer from Vjacheslav Goryainov[guru]
I don’t know why everyone considers the “dog of Quetzalcoatl” to be the most “temperature” animal... However, this is not at all true... The common pigeon has a significantly higher body temperature of +43.5 C.
As we move from place to place, we can feel the temperature around us changing, but we do not think that our body temperature can change. She doesn't change. We are classified as "homeothermic" and our species includes all warm-blooded animals, all mammals, domestic animals and birds.
But there are also animals whose body temperature changes along with the ambient temperature. They are called "poikilothermic" and include insects, snakes, reptiles, turtles, frogs and fish. Their temperature is usually slightly lower than the ambient temperature. These are cold-blooded animals.
We know that the normal temperature of a person is considered to be 36.6°, i.e. almost 37° C. But the temperature can vary within normal limits. For example, a person's body temperature is at its lowest around 4 a.m.; skin temperature is lower than core body temperature; eating food raises the temperature for an hour or two; muscle work can increase the temperature; alcohol lowers core temperature.
The body temperature of animals can vary greatly: from 35 ° C in an elephant to 43 °.5 C in small birds. 
Animals can be classified according to body temperature as follows:
From 35 to 38° C - man, monkey, mule, donkey, horse, rat, mouse and elephant. From 37 to 39° C - cattle, sheep, dogs, cats, rabbits and pigs. From 40 to 41° C - turkey, goose, duck, owl, pelican and hawk. From 42 to 43°.5 C - chickens, pigeons and some common small birds. 
The normal body temperature of a pigeon is +43.5 °C. Maintaining a constant temperature promotes rapid digestion, which allows the bird to receive a lot of nutrients. The dense and warm feather cover protects the body from cooling by the colder outside air. 
Animals, like humans, must get rid of excess heat in order to restore a constant body temperature. Animals that don't sweat do so by breathing - which is why your dog breathes with his tongue out on a hot day.

Mexican Hairless Dog - a gift from the god Quetzalcoatl 
The Aztec Indians, who called her a gift from the god Quetzalcoatl, kept her in temples, surrounded her with worship, and used the high temperature of her body (40-40.5 "C) for medicinal purposes. Having such a high temperature, these dogs served as a kind of living heating pads, which were placed in bed with the sick, for colds and rheumatism. But it seems that he treated people not only with warming. Some psychics claim that the Mexican dog has a strong biofield that has a beneficial effect on humans. It is also known that its blood is close in composition to human blood. And Recently a version has emerged that it is not of earthly origin at all, but a gift from extraterrestrial civilizations to earthlings.
The Chinese Crested Dog also has a higher temperature than its relatives.

The body temperature of an active sloth is 30-34 °C, and at rest it is even lower. Sloths really don’t like to get out of trees, because on the ground they are completely helpless. In addition, it requires energy. They climb down to perform natural 
needs, which is done only once a week (that’s why they have a huge bladder) and sometimes to move to another tree. Births often take place in a tree.

Attention, TODAY only!
An elephant’s blood temperature is 36 degrees, and he’s so huge! And the horse's blood temperature reaches: 37.6 degrees. A cat's blood reaches a temperature of: 38.6 degrees, despite its excessive cheerfulness! Human friends are not very different from cats, but there is a difference: their temperature is 38.9 degrees. Funny hamsters are not ashamed of their temperature, because at least in some way they will be on par with an elephant. As you may have guessed, their blood temperature is 36 degrees. The rabbit, oddly enough, has the highest blood temperature: 39.5 degrees
Let us illustrate the relationship between the size and temperature of animal bodies. The body temperatures of mammals do not differ very much. They are approximately the same in both an elephant and a small field mouse. However, the rate of heat release in an elephant's body is approximately 30 times less. If heat was released inside the elephant’s body at the same rate as in a mouse, then the heat released would not have time to leave the elephant’s body quickly enough to maintain a normal temperature, and the elephant would “roast” in its own skin. The smaller the warm-blooded animal, the greater the rate of heat release must be in order to compensate for losses and maintain body temperature, ensuring normal functioning of the body, the more food it must eat. The smallest mammals on Earth - Etruscan mice - weigh only 1.5 g, but eat twice as much per day. If an Etruscan mouse is left without food for even a few hours, it will die.
What climate conditions are suitable for elephants?
- This is how a belt with a damp, warm climate is formed along the equator. It is under these conditions that a tropical rain forest can exist. It grows wherever the temperature ranges from 20 to 28º C and there is a lot of precipitation per year - 2000 - 4000 mm, and in some places 10,000 mm per year per 1 sq.m (for comparison: in the Moscow region - 700 mm). It is also important when these showers occur: precipitation should be distributed evenly throughout the year. So, where tropical forests grow, there are no sudden warmings or cold snaps, so the seasons do not change here.
- The subtropical climate of the Mediterranean is dry, precipitation in the form of rain falls in winter, even mild frosts are extremely rare, summers are dry and hot. The subtropical forests of the Mediterranean are dominated by thickets of evergreen shrubs and low trees. Trees stand sparsely, and various herbs and shrubs grow wildly between them. Junipers, noble laurel, strawberry trees that shed their bark annually, wild olives, delicate myrtle, and roses grow here. These types of forests are characteristic mainly in the Mediterranean, and in the mountains of the tropics and subtropics.
- The subtropics on the eastern edges of the continents are characterized by a more humid climate. Atmospheric precipitation falls unevenly, but there is more rain in the summer, that is, at a time when vegetation especially needs moisture. Dense humid forests of evergreen oaks, magnolias, and camphor laurel predominate here. Numerous lianas, thickets of tall bamboos and various shrubs enhance the uniqueness of the humid subtropical forest.
- Subtropical forest differs from humid tropical forests in lower species diversity, a decrease in the number of epiphytes and lianas, as well as the appearance of coniferous and tree ferns in the forest stand.
- Previously, in the cool season, elephants went out into the steppes, but now this has become possible only in nature reserves, since outside them the steppe has almost everywhere been turned into agricultural land. In summer, along wooded slopes, elephants climb quite high into the mountains, meeting in the Himalayas at the border of eternal snow, at an altitude of up to 3600 m. Elephants move quite easily through swampy terrain and climb into the mountains. Like other large mammals, elephants tolerate cold better than heat. They spend the hottest part of the day in the shade. Most populations today are isolated from each other. Typical habitats are tropical rainforests, semi-evergreen and semi-deciduous forests and swamps. Habitats change seasonally - during the dry season, elephants move to swampy areas, during the rainy season they return to low-lying tropical forest.
In the evenings, at exactly five o’clock, at the northern outskirts of the Kenyan Nairobi National Park, a magical and mysterious, at first glance, action takes place. Clerks hang bright wool blankets from the gnarled branches of the croton trees. Loud and clear, people shout: “Kalama! Kitirua! Olare! And then a group of baby elephants emerges from the bushes in a chaotic line: eighteen brown heads with large floppy ears. They slowly approach and stop at trees marked with colored blankets as keepers cover each baby elephant to keep it warm before returning home to the Nairobi nursery founded by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Elephants are brought here from all over Kenya, many of which have become victims of poachers or clashes with people, and the babies are nursed until they begin to feed on their own.
Little elephants need warmth and help from their parents or people. They don't know how to warm themselves yet. Later, as elephants grow up, they develop a unique ability to regulate their body temperature. Both when it is cool and when it is very hot, the elephant’s temperature stays well within a fairly narrow range of about 36 ± 2 °C, that is, close to the temperature of the human body. This thermal regulation system has been a mystery and the subject of study by biologists for many years. The problem is that for their enormous weight (up to 12 tons as an adult), elephants have a relatively small body surface area and thick skin to cool themselves in hot weather by air convection. In addition, elephants lack sweat glands, which play a primary role in cooling some mammals in hot weather. Therefore, there is concern that the metabolic internal mechanism for maintaining temperature may not cope with the load. Meanwhile, African elephants live on one-third of the African continent, with temperatures in some places in Namibia and Mali reaching 50°C during the day.
It has long been believed that the elephant's large ears play a major role in regulating an elephant's body temperature. The skin on an elephant's ears is very thin, with a fine network of blood vessels. On hot days, elephants flap their ears, creating a light breeze that cools the surface blood vessels, and then the cooled blood circulates throughout the body. The differences in ear size between African and Asian elephants may be explained, in part, by their geographic location. Africans live near the equator, where it is very hot, which is why they have such large ears. Asians live much further north and their ears are much smaller. The trunk, with the help of which elephants douse themselves with water, also plays a major role in cooling the elephant in the heat.
However, in 2010, a study by scientists from the universities of Vienna was published in the Journal of Thermal Biology, which provided an alternative explanation for elephant thermoregulation. Scientists studied the temperature changes of six African elephants from the Vienna Zoo using an infrared camera. Scientists have discovered up to fifteen "hot windows" on the surface of elephants' skin, which are scattered throughout the body. These zones expand as the ambient temperature increases.
It turned out that elephants can regulate blood flow to cooling zones, thereby lowering blood temperature. In fact, scientists have destroyed the myth of the “thick-skinned” elephant by discovering a very sensitive and well-controlled temperature regulation mechanism under the skin. The scientists also discovered that the control of blood flow to the elephant's ears occurs independently of the flow to other areas. The ears certainly play a primary role in the elephant's thermoregulation, but they are not the only mechanism for thermoregulation.
In this post I would like to tell you a little more about elephants. These are highly developed animals. Any group of wild elephants is a single and complex organism. Elephants grow up in a large matriarchal family, where they are cared for by loving females, primarily their own mother, as well as numerous sisters, aunts, grandmothers and just friends. The connections within the group are strong and maintained throughout the elephant’s life—about seven decades. Males live next to their mother until they are 14 years old, and females live their entire lives. If a calf is injured or in danger, other elephants will comfort and protect it.
Such cohesion is ensured by a complex communication system. To communicate briefly, elephants use an impressive range of vocal signals, from deep grumbling to high-pitched screams and roars, and visual cues, expressing a variety of emotions using the trunk, ears, head and tail. They are able to communicate over a large distance - over one and a half kilometers: in order to be heard by their relatives, elephants emit powerful low-frequency growling sounds.
Scientists confirm the high intellectual abilities of elephants. Magnetic resonance imaging of elephant brains reveals an unusually large size of the hippocampus, a region of the mammalian brain associated with memory processes and an important part of the limbic system, which is involved in emotion. In addition, an increased number of spindle neurons was found in the elephant brain. In humans, they are hypothesized to be associated with abilities such as self-awareness, empathy, and social awareness. It also turned out that elephants can pass the test to recognize themselves in the mirror - until recently it was believed that only humans, some higher primates and dolphins were capable of this.
