Thermographic Images
Two Dutch companies are creating illuminating images of animals' heat patterns, revealing a characteristic of animals that usually can't be seen - their energy efficiency.

The thermographic images, in which varying temperatures are represented by colors, provide insight into animals' thermoregulation - the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries. The photographs and videos not only provide a fascinating look into a normally-invisible dimension, they are beautiful and ethereal as well.
