Listen in as Dr. Biology talks with biologist Dale DeNardo and engineer and thermographic artist Arno Vlooswijk about thermoregulation. Could there be lessons for humans to learn from these animals? Listen to the podcast of Dr.Biology about thermoregulation >> |
You can find more images in the Gallery or the database on the previous website. For great examples of thermoregulating stories, just ask nature, www.asknature.org. For video's check the website of Science Photo Laboratory >> |
