So just about human body temperature, pretty neat

It’s actually based on emperor penguin huddle temperature, humans just happen to have the same temp.

Higher actually, it would be a low grade fever In humans

for some people it'd be a pretty hefty fever, iirc my body temp is 36°C

It's actually Mr. Fahrenheit's wife's body temperature on one particular day. Luckily she happened to be human.
