Which outcome commonly results when aquatic mammals transition to land environments?

💡 Explanation

An amphibious mammal experiences conductive heat loss; thus *shivering thermogenesis* increases internal heat production through muscle contractions. This provides heat because metabolism rises, therefore combatting the greater cooling rates, rather than lowering metabolism.
