Science of Goose bumps

Science of Goose bumps

Goose bumps, or piloerection, are present in land mammals but absent in marine mammals, birds, snakes, and frogs. 

This response, causing hair to stand on end, evolved for warmth and threat display. 

Marine mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians lack this feature due to different evolutionary adaptations.
