Wind chill factor will apply to anything that is warm-blooded. The more
or better the insulation, the less the "factor" of the wind chill.
The figures they use on telly refer to naked humans, I believe, and are
useful to us to judge how much we need to wear (and what) to insulate
ourselves to reduce the effect of wind chill.
