- wruza 6y agoIsn’t that because hairy animals often overheat quickly? (As opposed to being exhausted energy-wise.)
- tcoff91 6y agoI’d imagine it’s also due to our bipedal locomotion, our ability to carry water, our intelligence helping to pick superior routes, and yes we have a cooling advantage compared to most other mammals. Maybe slow vs fast twitch muscle fiber amounts too?
