A tiger was chasing a mouse across a field. Each was running at the same pace and increased its internal temperature to the same ratio of its initial body temperature. Which explanation correctly describes which animal would return to its initial temperature more quickly after the chase ended? A. The mouse loses water more quickly, and evaporation will cool its body faster because of size. B. The mouse has adapted to running longer distances relative to size and is more fit than the tiger. C. The tiger has a larger surface-area-to-volume ratio and will cool more quickly. D. The tiger can cool more quickly because of decreased metabolic rates within larger animals.
