Mice Die Fast in extreme Cold Tests at Harvard Lab
Army tests in a Harvard fatigue lab exposed warm-blooded animals to 35 degrees below zero. Mice perished in under 25 minutes, canaries in 38 minutes, white rats from 5 minutes to 2 hours, rabbits up to 6.5 hours, chickens under 3.5 hours to 29.5 hours, while carrier pigeons showed the greatest resistance with no deaths before 2.5 hours and one at 78 hours. Birds and mammals reacted by hunching to minimize surface area rather than seeking warmth.
