Emperor penguins Aptenodytes forsteri are able to survive the harsh Antarctic climate because of specialized anatomical, physiological and behavioural adaptations for minimizing heat loss. Heat transfer theory predicts that metabolic heat loss in thi... Read More about Emperor penguin body surfaces cool below air temperature.

The annual moult in harbour seals(Phoca vitulina L.) follows a few weeks after the end of lactation and is characterised by a progressive loss and regrowth of hair which is apparent over a 4–6 week period. It is thought that during the moult harbour... Read More about Seals like it hot: Changes in surface temperature of harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) from late pregnancy to moult.

Assessment of flipper tag site healing in gray seal pups using thermography. (2011)
Journal Article

Infrared thermography was used tomonitor the healing process at flipper tag sites in gray seal (Halichoerus grypus) pups.We tested the hypothesis that tagging would
result in a rise in surface temperature associated with tag site healing processes c... Read More about Assessment of flipper tag site healing in gray seal pups using thermography..
