Abstract

Zbog svoje izuzetne sposobnosti da tijelo održe toplim kada je hladno ili da ga rashlade kada vladaju velike vrućine, u kombinaciji sa delikatnim procesima održavanja energetskog balansa energije i vode sisavci su se uspjeli prilagoditi i naseliti gotovo sva područja na zemlji. Održavanje tjelesne temperature konstantnom je energetski vrlo skup proces koji zahtjeva konstantnu potragu za hranom, tj. proizvodnjom energije. Iako energetski skupo, iz priloženog se vidi da je itekako isplativo. Od područja okovanih ledom do užarenih pustinja sisavci su, zahvaljujući svojoj prilagodljivosti, zagospodarili svijetom.

Abstract (english)

Owing to their outstanding capability to keep their bodies warm in very cold weather or to cool themselves off in hot periods, combined with delicate processes of maintaining the ballance of energy and water, the mammals have succeeded in conforming to and colonizing amlost every part of the world. Keeping their body temperature constant is energetically very demanding process, which requires constant food provision, i. e. energy production. Although it is energetically very „expensive“ we can see that it's worth while. From the ice-shackled regions to the high-heated deserts the mammals have, due to their adaptability, mastered the world.
