normal body temperature, heart rate and respiration rate of human, horses and ferrets?
458665
~~~~~~~~Temperature~~~~Heart Rate~~~~Respiration Rate\nHuman:  97.8º-99.0º F~~~~60-100 beats/min~~~~15-20 breaths/min\n\nHorse:  99.5º-101.5º~~~~30-40 beats/min~~~~8-16 breaths/min\n\nFerret: 100º-104º~~~~180-250 beats/min~~~~33-36 breaths/min\n\nThe normal body temperature of a person varies depending on gender, recent activity, food and fluid consumption, time of day, and, in women, the stage of the menstrual cycle. Normal body temperature, according to the American Medical Association, can range from 97.8º F (or Fahrenheit, equivalent to 36.5º C, or Celsius) to 99.0º F (37.2º C).\n\nThe first link is for the human info. The second is for the horses. If you go to the last link (the ucuca.umich.edu link), that's the ferret one. To find the info I gave, scroll down to the "Monitoring & Recovery" section and it'll be in the first paragraph.

One difference we have in comparison with a lot of other mammals is that we have a lot of sweat glands in our skin. They help to prevent our bodies from overheating, especially during exercise. As sweat cooling your body works best if the air on your skin can move easily (and especially if a breeze of air is blowing) I would guess that fur/hair would decrease the efficiency of this cooling system a lot. As humans are supposed to have evolved in warm areas of Afrika, protection from cold was not an issue for keeping hair. And protection from sunburn - as a upright walking species we kept our hair on the place where sunburn would be most of a problem. \nThat's my guess, so that may not be true, but I read not too long ago that sweating allows humans to exercise much longer without overheating than a lot of animals (and so hunt an animal to its heat exhaustion, despite if may be able to run faster), if you look up these studies you may find more.\nPS. I found at least one source for that theory, I added it below

As far as anyone can tell it is to allow us to cool ourselves more efficiently. Humans are one of the very few animals to sweat continuously for cooling. A dense coat of hair interferes with this cooling ability by trapping water against the skin and preventing it evaporating or running off.\n\nIt is not coincidental that humans are capable of running down just about any animal on Earth in warm weather. Humans function better at high temperatures than just about any other animal on the planet. The only animals that equals humans for performance running in hot conditions is the Arabian camel, and it too has a fairly sparse coat.

It would be a cold blooded animal, meaning it has no homeostatic mechanisms to regulate it's temperature (where warm blooded animals do things like sweat to cool them down, or shiver to warm them up). \nThe scientific name for a cold blooded animal is an 'ectotherm'.

live human is "hot" because of all the 4 processes needed for the body to be alive.\nthe process generate heat as a by product of the reactions occurring .\n\nWhen animals are dead there are no more metabolic reactions to generate the heat so the temperature decreases.

*&*&*&\n60.8 degrees Fahrenheit is a pleasant temperature for a rumble in the grassy jungle.  I will throw my spear in for the hippo/rhino combo.  \n\nThis is especially the case since the most dangerous animal in the African waters is the hippo and in the African Terra is the rhino.  Plus who ever heard of a lion and a polar bear fighting for a common cause

Try reading about the Parelli system, it's a very good \nalternative system, humane to horses and safe for people,\nthat is very well-documented and has lots of clinics and teachers internationally.

Animals capable of temperature regulation within a given range are deemed homeotherms (alternatively homiotherms or homotherms). They have the ability to regulate temperature via negative feedback control.\nTemperature is controlled in a variety of ways in these animals.\nThe hypothalamus acts as a receptor in regulation, by detecting fluctuations in temperature. These receptors are better known as thermoreceptors.\nSkin also possesses thermoreceptors which can detect the temperature of the external environment. This information is relayed to the hypothalamus which can in turn transmit nerve pulses for corrective mechanisms to occur.\nIncreased sweating is a corrective response aimed to reduce the temperature of the organism.\nVasodilation is a corrective response where the blood vessels close to the skin surface become more dilated, meaning their is a larger surface area for heat to be lost of the external environment from the blood vessel carrying over-heated blood.\nVasoconstriction is the opposite of this and occurs when temperatures in an organism drop. The blood vessels become constricted so that minimal heat loss occurs.\nThe hairs on your body also play an important role in temperature regulation. A corrective response can occur where the hairs 'stand on end', and trap a layer of air between the hair and the skin. This insulation of warmer air next to the skin reduces heat lost, while a thin layer of insulation would increase heat loss.\nOther corrective mechanisms are involved, such as a drop in metabolic rate and shivering when temperatures drop.

Sea turtles have low metabolic rates; that is, they have relatively low heartbeat frequency and breathing rate. Both the fact that they are poikilotherms and their usually large size contribute to this condition. The maximum apnea (no breathing) period recorded for a turtle (loggerhead turtle, Caretta caretta) is about 410 minutes (almost 7 hours); the capacity for holding their breath is lowered by stressful conditions or high activity.\nIn addition, at least some aquatic (freshwater) turtles can also breathe through the tegument of their pharynx or cloaca.

Did you ever notice what a big nose a camel has?  The nasal air-conditioning function is especially effective in this animal.  When the creature inhales, hot dry desert air is humidified by evaporation of nasal secretions, while the nasal passages themselves are chilled by evaporative cooling.  During exhalation, the cooled passages condense and recover the moisture, providing an important contribution to water conservation.\n\nIn our own bodies, air conditioning is not as effective as that of the camel.  But evaporative cooling of the respiratory passages does provide a significant contribution to thermoregulation during vigorous exercise.  (In other words, many of the calories expended during exercise do not do any useful work but only evaporate the water that we exhale.)\n\nUse below link for details.\n\nhttp://www.priory.com/vet/camel.htm

I really dunno... but i do know that if an animal is small, it's heart beats very fast and if an animal is big, it's heart beats very slow. not that it's going to die or something...

Homeostasis is the property of an open system, especially living organisms, to regulate its internal environment to maintain a stable, constant condition, by means of multiple dynamic equilibrium adjustments, controlled by interrelated regulation mechanisms.  The main examples of homeostasis in mammals are as follows:\n\n- The regulation of the amounts of water and minerals in the body. This is known as osmoregulation. This happens in the kidneys.\n- The removal of metabolic waste. This is known as excretion. This is done by the excretory organs such as the kidneys and lungs.\n- The regulation of body temperature. This is mainly done by the skin.\n- The regulation of blood glucose level. This is mainly done by the liver and the insulin secreted by the pancreas in the body.\n\nIt is important to note that while organisms exhibit equilibrium, their physiological state is not necessarily static. Many organisms exhibit endogenous fluctuations in the form of circadian (period 20 to 28 hours), ultradian (period <20 hours) and infradian (period > 28 hours) rhythms. Thus even in homeostasis, body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and most metabolic indicators are not always at a constant level, but vary predictably over time.
