Frostbite at 6C? Sounds a bit hyperbolic, so I will assume you mean the lower comfort temperature threshold which seems totally reasonable, as does the idea that many parts of elephant-inhabited India get to temps below that in the cold seasons. Thanks for the info! Also duh, Himalayas. Totally forgot about those, even if the elephants aren't exactly summiting them.
You’re welcome! Here’s the source for frostbite. No idea how reliable it is though.
I could see it causing hypothermia or some other issue but for it to be frostbite doesn't there have to be...you know...frost?
