well done @JudyN for a great definition! The answer provided by website is:

Ha Ha yes we do @arealhuman

So it is said. I've never been entirely convinced myself!

 

[Josie]

Do you know how though @Caro Perry ?

 

[JudyN]

They open your capillaries and make you sweat, which then evaporates and takes the heat of the body with it. Allegedly.

I hope so - I want to know what it is!

Yes of course @JoanneF

Ok. Some deep sea creatures (including octopus and some shellfish) have blood that is copper based, not iron based like ours. It is said to help circulation at depth. But many other creatures who live in deep water don't have that. So why have some evolved with copper based blood?

Well I'm out of the running with an answer to this! any marine biologists out there??
