The more advanced infrared sense of pit vipers allows these animals to strike prey accurately even in the absence of light, and detect warm objects from several meters away. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It was previously thought that the organs evolved primarily as prey detectors, but recent evidence suggests that it may also be used in thermoregulation and ...
A heat lamp is an incandescent light bulb that is used for the principal purpose of creating heat. The spectrum of black-body radiation emitted by the lamp is shifted to produce more infrared light. Many heat lamps include a red filter to minimize the amount of visible light emitted. Heat lamps often include an internal reflector.
Round bulbs, often tinted red to reduce visible light, provide infrared radiant heat suitable for warming of people or animals, but the power density available is low. The development of quartz halogen linear lamps allowed much higher power density up to 200 watts/inch of lamp (8 w/mm), useful for industrial heating, drying and processing ...

At the Phoenix Zoo and Desert Botanical Garden, complex operations to keep animals and plants safe from climate change may help life in the wild. Extreme heat takes a toll on animals and plants ...
As global temperatures rise, animals are forced to find solutions to combat overheating. Some already have smart tactics. Pooping, splooting, spitting: How wild animals beat the heat
