Koalas hug trees to lose heat 無尾熊抱樹降體溫

◎陳伃軒

Hugging trees helps koalas to keep cool, a study has revealed.

抱著樹幹幫助無尾熊保持涼爽，一份研究揭露。

In a study published in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters, scientists used thermal cameras to reveal that, in hotter weather, the animals moved to the lower, cooler parts of the trees.

在刊登於英國「皇家學會學報—生物學」期刊的研究中，科學家利用熱視覺相機發現，在酷熱的天氣，這些動物會移動至低處，亦即樹幹較低溫的區塊。

They also pressed their bodies even closer to the trunks.

牠們也會讓身體與樹幹更為靠近。
