Gestalt form sweating?

This is the place for discussion and voting on various aspects of werewolf life, social ideas, physical appearance, etc. Also a place to vote on how a werewolf should look.

But still, definately enough to make sweat unpleasant and useless! :D

Appaloosas, eh?
That reminds me: I saw you on television the other day, and you were riding a winged Appaloosa, but in the next scene, you were clearly riding a winged Arabian...
Please to explain?

I'd say sweat glands in the paws and armpits for gestalt, working together with panting. Perhaps around the nipples; mammary glands are modified sweat glands, after all.

Correction: mammary glands and sweat glands are actually modified oil-scent glands.

Canines do pant when they're hot to release excess body heat. I'm not sure of any mechanism aside of that to get rid of heat. Anybody? Anybody?

Just that, sweating through their paw pads, and getting wet, AFAIK.

No, dogs don't sweat through thier tounge. Thats saliva you're seeing.

I do know this about elephants.

The African elethants has bigger ears compared to the ones from India. When blood flows through the ears, it gets cooled off much quicker. In other words, the ears dissipates heat.

Not sure if the dog's tounge works the same way.

Desert hares and foxes (and other creatures) have the same ear A/C. :lol:

And no, panting is a method of breathing out excess heat. :D

Geez, it would be gross having a sweaty tongue! xD

Most people believe that the dog’s tongue contains sweat glands, but this is not true. The dog’s tongue and mouth are associated with many salivary glands that produce different forms of saliva. Some cooling takes place as the panting dog moves air across saliva-moistened surfaces of the mouth cavity.

Dogs also dissipate heat by dilating (expanding) blood vessels in the face and ears. Dilating blood vessels helps cool the dogs blood by causing it to flow closer to the surface of the skin.

Excessive play on a hot day can lead to overheating (hyperthermia) and eventually to heat stroke. A dog’s normal body temperature is within the range of 100.5 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit. If his temperature rises to 105 or 106 degrees, he may suffer heat exhaustion. At 107 degrees, heat stroke can occur, with potentially catastrophic consequences. Heat stroke can cause brain damage and even death.
