📢 New paper alert! 🐋❄️ How do different-sized #cetaceans stay warm in cold waters? Our latest study in @jexpbiol.bsky.social revealed that smaller species rely on thicker blubber, while larger ones offset heat loss simply by being big. Read more: doi.org/10.1242/jeb.... #UAVs

Blue whales are a lot skinnier than minke or humpback whales, but their surface area to volume ratio is very low

Although blue whales are predicted to have high absolute heat loss; when scaled by body volume, heat loss is lower than for minke or humpback whales
