- Abstract
The article presents a study which investigates the different seasonal temperatures of wild walrus to better understand the function of thermal windows in their species. It mentions that the study uses controlled environment in exposing wild walrus to different air and water temperatures. Also, respiration and behavior of the marine animal are being monitored for signs of thermal stress. It notes that the patterns of normal thermal windows must be considered in using thermography.
