Their metabolism will lower to one-fifteenth (1/15) of normal. Their body temperature will drop to the point of becoming hypothermic. Their heart rate will drop to about 50 beats per minute.

Q: What causes iron, nickel, and cobalt to be attracted to magnets, but not other metals? Q: What causes iron, nickel, and cobalt to be attracted to magnets, but not other metals? Physicist: The magnetic properties of a material are governed entirely by the configuration of the electrons in that material. In metals there are two types of electrons: bound electrons and free electrons. The free electrons are free to move between atoms, and are the cause of conductivity in metals. The bound electrons are stuck to the individual atoms. Each electron, in addition to having charge, also has a “magnetic moment” which is a fancy way of saying that it’s a tiny bar magnet.

The wing-beat can now be back and forth instead of up and down. In most birds the up-stroke of the wing is just a recovery stroke to get the wing back into position for the next down-stroke.
