Living micro-organisms have been found flourishing deep within the ice of Antarctica. Since ice freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, I expect that's as cold as you can get and still allow the little beggars to move about, ingest nourishment and procreate. These are simple single-celled animals. Microbia.

The real answer is that waterbirds have a really clever method of stoping the cold blood from their feet mixing with the blood from their bodies, and vice versa. \n\nAs blood flows into the feet it passes right beside the blood flowing out. Most of  the heat is drawn from the warm blood before it reaches the feet, but enough heat remains to prevent the feet from freezing.  \n\nThe blood then leaves the feet, passing close to fresh blood coming in. The cold blood draws the heat form the warm blood, and thus warms up before it enters the body again.  That prevents the duck form getting cold even though its feet are just a few degrees above freezing.\n\nThis system is most well developed in the penguins, some of which spend months at a time standing on ice.  If the solution was simply that the feet contained no nerves or blood vessels the penguins may not feel cold,  but there feet would freeze solid and shatter into a million pieces as soon as they tried to move them.\n\n_____________________________\n>>>>Ducks' feet have no nerves or blood vessels. \n\nThis is just nonsense of course. If a ducks feet have no blood vessels then how exactly do you think they supply oxygen to the cells?

It does vary from species to species and individual to individual.  Larger ones can last longer than smaller.\n\nAll of them can last much longer than you'd think.  Cold-blooded animals don't burn through oxygen like wasteful mammals and birds do.

no because cold blooded animals are dependant of the  environment temperature \nif the temperature outside drops to 0 C you would die

Hibernation is a state of regulated hypothermia, lasting several days or weeks, that allows animals to conserve energy during the winter. During hibernation animals slow their metabolism to a very low level, with body temperature and breathing rates lowered, gradually using up the body fat reserves stored during the warmer months. Some hibernating animals stir as often as once a week; others sleep throughout the season. Some reptile species are said to bruminate, or undergo brumination, but this is just another term for hibernation, usually in the context of an induced hibernation in captivity necessary to reset the animal's biological clock for a new breeding season.

There is no way that we can be 100% certain if they were warm or cold blooded.  Based on the paleontological evidence such as the structure of their bones, their rates of growth, evidence of feathers, etc. most paleontologists believe that at least some dinosaurs were warm blooded.  Birds are warm blooded and if dinosaurs are, in fact, the ancestors of birds, then most likely dinosaurs (or at least those direct ancestors of birds) were warmblooded too.\n\n"Warm blooded" and "cold blooded" are generally considered archaic as there are more than just the two methods of thermo-regulation.  However, in gernal, "cold blooded" refers to an animal who's body temperature is not constant, whereas "warm blooded" animals maintain a constant body temperature.

Apparently Alaskan huskies, the faster breed commonly used now, isn't as resisitance to cold as siberian huskies.\n\nFrom Wikipedia \n\n"In very cold conditions, Alaskans often race in “dog coats” or belly protectors. Particularly in long distance races, these dogs often require “dog booties” to protect their feet from abrasion and cracking. Thus the considerations of hardiness and climate resistance prevalent in breeds such as the Siberian Husky and Canadian Inuit Dog are subordinated in the Alaskan husky to the overriding consideration of functional capability. The Alaskan huskies lack the dense coat required to keep them warm, and they are not as hardy as Siberians, often requiring extra care on the trails. Andre Nadeau says this is the reason his Siberians did so well in the 1998 Yukon Quest, where he led nearly the whole race until being passed by a team of Alaskan huskies.\n\nSiberians are still used occasionally as sleddogs in dogsled racing but have been widely replaced by the more popular Alaskan Husky and hound-type crossbreds that are specially bred and selected for speed and have less heavy coats. Siberian Huskies were designed to pull a light load over long distances at a medium pace, and simply can't keep up with their faster counterparts. Siberians are still popular in races restricted to purebreds and are faster than other pure sleddog breeds such as the Samoyed and Alaskan Malamute. Today the breed tends to divide along lines of “racing” Siberians versus “show” Siberians."\n\nThis site has some differing opinions on frostbite including that they can in fact ger frostbite.\nhttp://www.straightdope.com/classics/a990312a.html\n\n"The doctor says he's seen lots of frostbitten canine parts, including the nipples, vulva, and prepuce (no wonder the Iditarod has been condemned by animal-rights groups), but he's never seen any frostbitten feet. He thinks this may result from some peculiarity of the canine circulatory system. When people are exposed to extreme cold, vasoconstriction in the extremities reduces the flow of blood there, helping reduce heat loss and maintain the body's core temperature. Maybe this doesn't happen with dogs. Or maybe they just have more blood vessels down there. Whatever the case, it's not something peculiar to sled dogs. The doc says he's never seen frostbitten dog feet in private practice, either. He sees this as a survival mechanism: if a dog can't move, it dies.\n\nOther vets doubt that dogs enjoy any special protection, though they do concede that frostbitten paws are rare. A 1975 veterinary account of the Iditarod, written before Dr. Nelson's time, mentions a few cases, but these occurred because booties intended to protect dogs with paw blisters were tied too tight. Researchers have induced frostbitten paws in the lab to learn more about human frostbite, suggesting they don't see much difference between us and the pups circulationwise. One vet believes dogs are protected by the thick epithelial pads on the bottoms of their feet, their somewhat higher body temperature (100 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit), their thick fur (remember that the frostbitten areas noted by Nelson were hairless), and their practice of curling their paws next to their bodies when sleeping."

Actually the scientific community hasnt definitively decided yet what should or should not be classified as "true" hibernation. Compared to ground squirrels a bear seems to be only in a light sleep, but both animals go through similar process to get ready for winter etc... \n\nExcerpt from Wikipedia...\nOne animal that some consider to be a hibernator is the bear. However, the degree of metabolic depression is much less than what is observed in smaller mammals and many prefer to use the term denning. The bear's body temperature remains relatively stable (depressed from 37° C to approximately 31° C) and it can be easily aroused. In contrast, hibernating ground squirrels may have core body temperatures as low as -2° C.

A few of many.\n\n1) Nocturnal habits. By minmising activity during the hottest parts of the day less water is lost to cooling, in addition to avoiding the high temperatures.\n\n\n2) Burrowing. Almost everysmall desert animals burrows> But many large animals also burrow in the desert. Things like warthogs, spotted dogs, wombats and hyaenas all burrow. Burrowing is a way of avoiding the sun. In addition the air temperature below the ground is always fairly constant, menaing it is cooler by day and warmer at night. The burrow also traps any moisture the animal breathes out or loses to sweating, slowing further loss.\n\n3) Seasonal activity. Most deserts have distinct wet and dry seasons. Many desert animals like shrimp or frogs will will hibernate in some form through the dry part of the year and only reemerge when it rains.\n\n4) Migration. Many desert animals are migratory or nomadic. This allows them to follow the available water and food. Animals like kangaroos, wildebeest, camels and bison are all nomadic or migratory in desert environments.\n\n5) Evolutionary adpation. This is a grab bag that covers all sorts of things. For exmaple many desert animls have highly efficient kidneys so they don't lose much water in urine. Camels have specially shaped blood cells that won't clog up their veins when their blod thickens as they dehydrate. Sidewinder snakes have evolved a method of moving over hot shadeless ground that minimises the amount of that they absorb. And so on.
