18、oles. Thats what North American pikas do. But not the plateau pika. These creatures continue searching for food in winter. To save energy, plateau pikas drop their metabolism (新陈代谢) by about 30 percent. Some also turn to eating an unusual food: yak poop (牦牛粪便) . Cameras at four sites on the Tibetan
19、Plateau captured the pikas winter routine. That footage showed that pikas often brave the cold to find food. “Clearly theyre doing something fancy with their metabolism thats not hibernation,” says John Speakman, an expert who studies links between the environment and how an animals body works. Spea
20、kman and his colleagues measured how much energy 156 individual pikas spent each day in summer and winter. The team also implanted 27 animals with temperature sensors. What they found surprised them. Many animals that dont hibernate keep warm in winter by using more energy. But these pikas did the o
