Thermal Pictures of Zoo Animals!

"Three South African black-footed penguins trundle along the edge of their cold pool"


News:Lite (a website) came upon a fun way of looking at animals! Its a THERMAL CAMREA!!

There is a camera at the London Zoo that captures images of the internal temperatures of the animals. I was intrigued..
The cameras give us information on how warm these animals are beneath their feathers and fur. Ever wondered how or if the fur/feathers of animals really make any difference in insulation.

"*The dark stripes on these zebra clearly showing up as warmer than the white areas because they absorb heat instead of reflectinAg it"

There are lots of pictures, directly from the London Zoo website, HERE...

"These Asian short-clawed otters are as hot-headed as the penguins"
