Rectal temperature of the husky under severe winter conditions in the Antarctic
Rectal temperatures were measured in a group of 15 huskies during the Antarctic winter at Halley Bay, and found to vary between37–55 and 40 25 o C. A significant positive correlation was shown between ambient and the mean rectal temperatures. It is suggested that the dogs'reaction to the cold e...

| Summary: | Rectal temperatures were measured in a group of 15 huskies during the Antarctic winter at Halley Bay, and found to vary between37–55 and 40 25 o C. A significant positive correlation was shown between ambient and the mean rectal temperatures. It is suggested that the dogs'reaction to the cold environment shows a possible acclimatization effect. |
