Which outcome occurs when a desert fox experiences hyperthermia?

A)Increased evaporative cooling at skin surface
B)Fur insulation increases to limit heat
C)Shivering generates rapid muscle heat
D)Brown fat metabolism accelerates heat production

💡 Explanation

Hyperthermia triggers vasodilation near the skin in order to increase radiative heat loss via evaporative cooling, because blood travels closer to surface; therefore evaporative cooling increases rather than shivering or brown fat because those mechanisms would conserve or generate heat.
