Abstract
Abstract o 1. The lemmings, Arctic rodents, show cold acclimation as measured by a number of variables: food and water consumption, liver temperature, and organ weights. 2. Cold acclimation of lemmings is apparently more rapid than that of temperate mammals. 3. The rapid cold acclimation in lemmings supports the hypothesis that compensation of a number of physiological variables is essentially complete within the first week of cold exposure as opposed to requiring months.
