Arctic ground squirrels drop their body temperature to nearly three degrees below freezing during hibernation — the coldest ever recorded in a mammal — a state that should crystallise their blood and kill them, but through a phenomenon called supercooling, their body fluids remain liquid, and they wake in spring unharmed
The Arctic ground squirrel holds the lowest core body temperature ever measured in a mammal. During hibernation its…
