Have you ever played with a dog? If that dog touched you with its nose, you would probably be
surprised at how 1 it was. Since dogs are so warm and fluffy(毛茸茸的), why are their noses so
cold?
In the past, people thought that dogs had cold noses to help them 2 their body temperature.
However, a new study has shown some interesting 3 about dogs noses. For example, the
temperature of the dogs nose is about five degrees 4 than that of the air. But why?
The researchers believed that the dogs nose has such a sensory function(探测功能). So they did
an experiment to 5 it. The research team studied three dogs. For the experiment, the dogs had to
tell the difference between two objects. 6 , all three dogs were able to sense (感知) the
temperature difference so easily.
The study also found that the heat from the objects in the experiment “was 7 weak to be felt
by human hands”. The dogs were able to sense these heated objects from a distance but humans
couldnt feel the warmth of the 8 unless they touched it.
To know more about it, the research team also studied the brain activity of the 3 dogs. When a
warm object was put near their noses, there was an increase in their 9 activity.
From the two experiments, we can know that dogs are able to sense heat from warm-blooded
animals. If this function can b
