Which outcome occurs when a hibernating groundhog experiences sudden environmental warming above threshold?

💡 Explanation

When a groundhog experiences sudden warming, rapid vasodilation occurs to dissipate heat by increased blood flow near the skin surface stemming from decreased sympathetic nerve activity, potentially causing blood pressure dysregulation with resulting heart arrhythmia. Therefore arrhythmia potentially results, rather than brown fat activation, suppressed shivering, resulting from other mechanisms,
