Any caring parent would try to move to polar regions as fast as possible. | |

So if "extra muscle strength" implies twice the calories expended (and hence heat created) that might add up to noticeable heat. | |

Think of it more as them wearing an invisible backpack of their own body weight, that is distributed evenly over their body; and they get extra muscle strength to compensate. Their organs are not duplicated, so any extra heat would come from the muscles alone. | |
