 The method of heat exchange that occurs during direct contact between the source and an animal is conduction. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between two objects or substances that are at different temperatures. When an animal comes into contact with a warmer object, heat flows from the warmer object to the cooler animal, and vice versa. This is due to the temperature difference, which causes heat energy to move from the area of higher temperature to the area of lower temperature until equilibrium is reached.

Conduction As mentioned, this is the direct transfer of heat between substances that are in contact with each other. The heat transfer occurs when vibrating particles pass on their extra kinetic energy to neighboring particles. Good conductors of heat, like metals, have particles that are efficient at passing on this kinetic energy
