Ectotherms

Ectothermic cooling

* Vaporization:
** Evaporation of sweat and other bodily fluids.
* Convection:
** Increasing blood flow to body surfaces to maximize heat transfer across the advective gradient.
* Conduction:
** Losing heat by being in contact with a colder surface. For instance:
*** Lying on cool ground.
*** Staying wet in a river, lake or sea.
*** Covering in cool mud.
* Radiation:
** Releasing heat
