Toucans' beaks can radiate heat to save energy and keep cool, while they can also be deactivated by having their blood supply shut off to keep warm when the weather is cold, but the ostentatious appendage does not expand the temperature range over which the warm-blooded creatures live at very little cost

Eastern amberwing (Perithemis tenera) obelisking on a hot day. They twitch their abdomens and wings in a way that is remarkably reminiscent of wasps. Zolfo Springs, FL.

When you've had a week of near record high temps (80f a few times), and it suddenly drops into the 30s overnight....you definitely want to soak up all the sunshine you can get.

The Indian Express - Sleepless in summer? Blame climate change

Sleepless in summer? Blame #ClimateChange

As extreme temperature events increase in frequency, duration and magnitude, the human body, which is fairly adaptive when it comes to #thermoregulation, may finally be experiencing the impact of #climate change. The #WHO has already warned that exposure to excessive #heat has “wide-ranging physiological impacts for all humans, often amplifying existing conditions and resulting in premature death and disability.”
