Which outcome results in endothermic mammals when ambient temperature drops below their thermoneutral zone if insulation is damaged?

💡 Explanation

Shivering causes muscles to rapidly contract, thus generating heat, because this increases their metabolic rate. Therefore, shivering helps maintain core body temperature rather than induce hypothermia; this occurs in endotherms during cold exposure when insulation fails.
