Field record

Giant monitor lizards. Antifreeze-like blood. Slow metabolism. Hibernates embedded in ice for extended periods. Emerges when surface temperature rises sufficiently.

Researchers learn to check equipment bays before reaching in. Several teams have opened storage containers to find three meters of monitored confusion inside. Generally nonviolent unless surprised. Surprising them is the problem.
