Abstract
Body temperatures and respiration rates of a hibernating black bear were observed. During dormancy oral and rectal tempera- tures were high (95[degree]-96[degree]F) but body surface temperatures low (40[degree]F). Breaths during dormancy were reduced to 2-3/minute.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
