Burlap blankets

You might have caught a glimpse or two of the cold spell that has hit Florida. Reports of Iguana's falling out of trees, apparently "dead" but in fact their bodies have just slowed down to the point that only their heart is beat enough to keep them alive, but nothing more. It's a normal response and when things warm up they spring back to life. And then we have the zoo's down there. They have been taking some of the burlap sacks that are used to carry in feed and cutting them open, then just placing them in the dens of apes, orangutans and some monkeys. They picked up on it pretty quickly and began to use them as blankets. Pretty smart, eh?

Would sasquatch take advantage of such opportunity should it exist? Well if it's living in the bush in northern Ontario then I would say no. The species should be adapted to the cold or have some sort of shelter to provide warmth. Or maybe....just maybe it migrates south. Who knows?

As humans, we would try to stay as warm as possible in a situation where we are exposed to extreme temps, but think about how we might go about this? Just turn up the heat? Put on a sweater? Eat something to give you energy? Well it could be all three but I looking at the last option -Eating. There is no doubt that food can make you warm and give you the energy needed to continue whatever you are doing, but you have to rest at some point, so when you do, your body slows down, you begin to feel cold, and it takes a while to get warmed back up again.

These creatures must be on the move. They must be eating well. They must have a shelter or some sort of protection to make them comfy during trying times. So where do we go from here? It's that time of season when the mercury hits single digits and we ask ourselves how something could live out there in these conditions.

Many questions, many thoughts.
Good Night.
