One species, the black metaltail, cools to , the coldest body temperature ever recorded in a bird or non-hibernating mammal（非冬眠的哺乳

22、动物）, researchers report in Biology Letters. “They re cold as a rock,” says Blair Wolf, a physiological ecologist at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. “If you didnt know better, you d think they were dead.

29、 to control their behaviour and emotions as they grow up, research suggests. Although there are many similarities between fathers and mothers, the findings suggest that fathers participate in more physical play even with the youngest children. This seems to help children learn to control their feeli

30、ngs. It may also make them better at supervising their own behaviour later on. Paul Ramchandani, professor of Play in Education, Development and Learning at the University of Cambridge, said, “It s important not to overstate the influence of father-child play as there are limits to what the research

31、 can tell us, but it does seem that children who get a reasonable amount of playtime with their father benefit as a group.” Parent-child play in the first years of life is known to support basic social, cognitive and communication skills, but most research focuses on mothers and babies.
