👉 pelted is a term used in the context of animal behavior, particularly in the field of zoology. It refers to an action where an animal, usually a mammal or bird, is hit by another animal with its fur or feathers, causing it to become cold and shivering. This phenomenon can be observed when two animals are close together, but if they are separated, the pelted animal will continue to shiver until it is able to escape from the heat of the other animal
