A baby dolphin is born into the ocean, which is a fairly cold environment. Water has a high heat conductivity, so the thermal regulation of a newborn dolphin is quite important. It has been known for a long time that baby dolphins' blubber is different in composition and quantity from the blubber of adults. Does this make the babies better protected from the cold compared to adults? One measure of the effectiveness of blubber is its "conductance". This value as calculated on 5 newborn dolphins and 6 adults dolphins (Dunkin et al. 2005).
