The title. If you try panting as a human it is not comfortable.
In: Biology
We’re not built for panting: we have an even better trick (sweat… we turn our whole body into the “tongue” and let the breeze pant for us). Dogs are made for it, and are used to and naturally good at panting. Like the other person here mentioned, it’s a particularly shallow breath meant to mostly move air over their tongue/mouth.
If I *try*, I can pant w/o hyperventilating or getting light-headed, but I’m not used to it and I’d get tired before I’d cool off. I’d probably start sweating 🙂
