摘要：

We surgically implanted temperature sensitive telemeters intraperitonealy in free-ranging baboons. Thereafter we recorded body temperature changes while the baboons were free-ranging and under visual observation. Two distinct patterns of daily body temperature fluctuations occurred; they were related to the availability of drinking water Core body temperature fluctuated by as much as 5.3 degrees C and regularly exceeded 41 degrees C. Behavioral adaptations of the baboons, notably sandbathing, appeared to be associated with the regulation of body temperature.
