Which outcome occurs when a groundhog commences shivering during early stages of hibernation?

💡 Explanation

When a groundhog starts shivering, muscle contraction increases metabolic activity because ATP hydrolysis generates heat, leading to a rise in body temperature. Therefore increased heat production results, rather than suppressed oxygen consumption, or vasoconstriction, both which counteract effective thermogenesis.
