Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Animals respond to very cold temperatures by curling up to reduce the exposed surface area, minimizing heat loss. This helps them conserve energy and keep warm. Stretching out would increase the exposed surface area, thereby increasing heat loss, which is not a desirable response to cold temperatures.
