Mammals are endothermic homeotherms
Maintain a constant body temperature…
…using internal sources of heat.
MR = C′ · (Tb – Ta)
When it’s cold outside, it takes a lot of energy to maintain a constant body temperature

Consider a 100 g mammal
Assume mean winter temperature is 10°C.
At 10°C, MR = 4 mL O2 / g/ hr
Therefore, MR = 400 mL O2 / hr for whole animal
= 0.4 L O2 / hr for whole animal
Assume winter lasts for 100 days (approx. 3 ½ months)
24 hrs/day X 100 days = 2400 hours
Therefore, over the entire winter, the whole animal consumes 960L O2
1 L O2 corresponds to 5 kcal of energy consumed
Therefore, over the entire winter, the whole animals consumes 4800kcal of energy
1 g of fat contains 9kcal of energy
Therefore, over the entire winter, the animal needs to metabolize 533g of fat!
That’s 533% more body mass!
MR = C′ · (Tb – Ta)
