Sub-fossorial species weighing more than 80 grams (2.8 oz) have comparably lower basal rates [specify] than those weighing lower than 60 grams (2.1 oz). The average fossorial animal has a basal rate between 60% and 90%. Further observations conclude that larger burrowing animals, such as hedgehogs or armadillos, have lower thermal conductance ...
