Being cold-blooded means always thinking about thermoregulating (maintaining an ideal temperature). Their cold blood comes with a slower metabolism. Unlike humans or other warm-blooded species, their metabolism does little to achieve homeostasis.
Sharks capable of reaching high speeds can maintain blood temperature warmer than the water. Their special arrangement of blood vessels allows them to heat their body and expend more energy. The process happens when the cold oxygen from the water passes through deoxygenated blood vessels.

Scorpions are temperature-dependent creatures that crave direct sunlight. There is a good reason scorpions rarely live outside of the desert. Despite being cold-blooded, its internal temperature remains around 35 Celcius.
Their slow metabolism makes them susceptible to cold snaps in the water. If oceans drop below 10 degrees Celsius, their bodies cannot keep up with blood flow. Cold-stunned turtles seek out sunlight and are vulnerable before they thaw.
Invasive species of iguanas in Florida are a nuisance to residents in the cold months. When temperatures stay below 5 degrees Celsius, the iguanas will paralyze. Their blood is too cold to move, and they lay stunned in yards, streets, and sidewalks, waiting for external heat.
Arctic animals are the best equipped to handle the cold and live in sub-zero temperatures. Extreme temperatures reach -70 degrees Celsius, and warm blood is not enough to survive. Some species grow thick coats while others hibernate. Whatever it is, all species are forced to adapt to such extreme cold.
Yellowstone in winter also is a place of vulnerability. Wildlife endure extremes of cold, wind, and the absence of ready food. Their tracks through deep snow tell of tenacious struggles through the long winter. Park conditions in this most severe of seasons become critical to the mortality of wildlife and even to survival of park species.
These seemingly disparate symptoms are all signs of a rare and life-threatening state called diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. DKA can cause the symptoms above, as well as stomach pain, trouble breathing, dry or flushed skin, fruity-smelling breath, or difficulty paying attention. It usually occurs in people with type 1 diabetes and is sometimes the first sign they are sick, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. (More rarely, DKA can occur to a milder degree in type 2 diabetes.) DKA happens when the liver is unable to use the sugar in the blood for energy without insulin and begins to break down body fat into a type of fuel called ketones at such a high rate that they become toxic and make the blood acidic, the U.S. National Library of Medicine explains. DKA can be fatal if left untreated, so anyone experiencing these symptoms should seek care immediately.
How you treat and prevent high blood sugar depends on the cause and your overall health. But in general, it will almost certainly involve working with your medical team on a plan involving a mix of lifestyle habits and medications to help you best manage your health.
If you are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, you will also have to monitor your blood sugar, make certain lifestyle changes (like working with an expert to come up with a realistic meal plan and exercising), and potentially take medication, Dr. Hatipoglu says.
When the actor Scott Wilson went to Poland to make "A Year of the Quiet Sun" (1984), he found the country still slowly rebuilding from World War II. "The war was a fresh memory for them," he says, and poverty and rationing were still facts of life. Perhaps that is why Krzysztof Zanussi's film has such an immediate, palpable presence: Set in 1946, it shows its characters at the beginning of that long postwar period, living in shabby rooms of half-destroyed buildings, struggling for the few loaves at the local bakery, spying on one another in a world of bribery and betrayal. What we remember about the film's love scene is that the American soldier spreads his Army overcoat over himself and the woman he loves, because it is so cold.
This colour indicates you might have a virus infection. The infection-fighting white blood cells get mixed with your mucus. When these die, it gives your mucus a yellow or brownish colour. If your mucus is yellow, it is also a sign that your cold might last for seven to ten days. 2ff7e9595c
