Yuki Uchida, Ken Tokizawa, Mayumi Nakamura, Cheng-Hsien Lin, Kei Nagashima in Journal of comparative physiology A Neuroethology sensory neural and behavioral physiology (2012)Rats place their tails underneath their body trunks when cold (tail-hiding behavior). The aim of the present study was to determine whether this behavior is necessary to maintain body temperature. Male Wistar rats were divided into 'fed' and '42-h…Save reference to library · Related research 1 reader
