Which of the following is NOT a symptom of hyperthermia in animals?

Exaggerated panting
Excessive salivation
Smooth skin
Hyperactivity and barking

The correct answer is: Smooth skin

Smooth skin is not a symptom of hyperthermia in animals. In fact, during hyperthermia, animals often exhibit various physical changes due to their body’s struggle to regulate temperature. Symptoms such as exaggerated panting, excessive salivation, and increased hyperactivity or barking are common indicators of the condition as the animal's body tries to cool itself down. Smooth skin, on the other hand, does not relate to the physiological responses to elevated body temperature, which often include a rougher texture resulting from dehydration or stress on the skin. Understanding the symptoms of hyperthermia is vital for timely intervention, and recognizing that smooth skin is not among these symptoms can aid in distinguishing between illness states accurately.
