One biological adaptation to hot climates is having large ears. This adaptation can be seen in elephants as well as fennec foxes; who both receive considerable cooling from large flat ears in which blood vessels lay close to the skin so that heat can rapidly dissipate. Cheagles come from two breeds with noticeably large ears: the chihuahua who does hail from warm climates, and beagles whose ears have been bred to be large in order to funnel scent particles toward their noses. All this is just a friendly and informative reminder to make sure your Cheagle’s ears don’t lose too much heat this winter!
