Ellos duermen asi para conservar todo el calor que puedan, pues su dieta de termitas y hormigas y su metabolismo no les permite mantener una temperatura alta. de hecho son unos de los mamìferos con temperatura corporal mas baja! (32.7 C). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Antea....
Me encanta como duermen.
Haha, great picture - I would NEVER have guessed what this is if you hadn't said its name! :-)
Thanks!!!
Nice spot!
