Pet dogs keep their feet from freezing

Pet dogs keep their feet from freezing
http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/16426276

Quote:Dogs can keep warm on frozen ground, thanks to a specialised circulation system in their paws, say scientists.

Researchers in Japan used electron microscopes to study the internal structure of domestic dogs' paws.

They found that heat was transferred from the artery to the network of veins, meaning that cooled blood could not return to the body.

A lot of species with padded feet have a cold adaptation like this. Convergence.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
