Q&A

How would a creature with a higher body temperature interact with surroundings?

+0
−0

Say I've got a creature with a 15 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit higher body temperature than a human. (Trying to figure out what a good temperature for this creature would be. Not good with number estimates so I'm unsure of what exact temperature I need for this particular creature.)

Would it be less vulnerable to a cold environment because its body is warmer, or more vulnerable because said cold environment's temperature is farther away from its normal body temperature?

What would the temperature feel like to a human touching its skin? At this body temperature would it's blood make steam when exposed to earth's air?(I'm hoping not. That would get to much attention since he's trying to blend in.)
