    And it probably doesn’t feel a thing. Fluffy coat is fluffy!

    Wish wool wasn't so itchy. Even my alpaca sweater is just tolerable if I wear a shirt underneath. But then the sleeves drive me crazy.

    How do people do it?

    Just make sure those long sleeves are made from wool.

    That's way to cold.

    Take that poor beast into a nice 300deg room for at least 8 hours, or until an internal temp of 185. Bathe them in Guinness to keep them from drying out.

    Trust me.

    Credit to the photographer, Tom Murphy, who took this in 2019 in Yellowstone National Park. Here is the source of this image. More of the photographer's work can be found here.

    INTERVIEWER: "Can you share the story behind your image of a female bison covered in snow?

    TOM MURPHY: "It was a clear morning and 30° below zero Fahrenheit. I got up at daylight and went out on foot, knowing things could be covered with hoar frost: twigs, grass, and animals. This cow bison was standing patiently in the extreme cold, quietly waiting for the temperature to warm a little before walking off to find breakfast. She did not shiver, she did not shift her weight or even turn her head for the twenty minutes that I watched and admired her stoicism."

    Degrees. Degrees below zero.

    Celsius and Fahrenheit are only a couple degrees apart in that temperature range, so it doesn't really matter which one in this context.

    I'm not doubting on the conversion between °C and °F.

    I'm just insisting on the importance of using units of measurements: not only in this specific context, but more in general. I belive you agree on that too.
