Yes, humans are mammals. Animals. We tend to forget. Out of all the mammals, our human body core temperature average of about 37 C (98.6 F) is almost the lowest, only beating out Elephants. Cats and Dogs have core body temperatures about 39 C, while Chickens are in the range of 40.6 C to 43 C. This means that other mammals are able to withstand wetbulb temperatures higher that the 35 C (95 F) limit for humans. As for the Elephants, things are not looking so good for humans as these wetbulb temperatures are likely to be exceeded in more and more places around the planet in the near future, mostly near the equator, as abrupt climate change proceeds.
