Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels.

Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
