  Ever wonder why during the winter it is preferred to wear jackets and clothing made of fur?   While in the first picture the single strand of rabbit hair may seem to be merely a piece of thread having no significance to why people tend to wear it for warmth, it is in truth a very hollow piece of fur. As seen in these pictures, the fur actually has large pockets of empty space inside. The reason for so many air pockets is because the heat that is emitted by the organism would be stored in the pockets, further insulating/preserving heat. This is shown in duck down and other types of fur animals.

Hello IMC members! Thanks for always dropping by to the club meetings and showing your fascination towards the microverse! I hope we'll be able to continue doing so as we approach more nerve racking exams and the end of the school year! Take care! -KyuBeen
