To investigate the functional significance of the behaviour of large mammals in hot, arid conditions, field observations were made of the behaviour of red kangaroos. The behaviour of individual animals was recorded in detail during hot summer days and measurements of the prevailing temperature and radiation environment were made. Changes in the postures adopted by animals during the day are described in relation to environmental conditions; and the occurrence of certain postures and behaviours at periods of greatest heat stress is reported.
为了研究大型哺乳动物在炎热干旱条件下行为的功能意义，对红袋鼠的行为进行了实地观察。在炎热的夏日详细记录了个体动物的行为，并对当时的温度和辐射环境进行了测量。描述了动物在白天所采取姿势随环境条件的变化情况；并报告了在热应激最严重时期某些姿势和行为的出现情况。
