• C) Overeating promotes an insulating layer of fat that traps body heat and allows the species to survive in a wider range of cold climates.
• D) Species that engage in overeating have evolved so that they have high basal metabolic rates and do not hibernate, qualities that utilize the excess calories and promote survival.
