Marine mammals like whales and seals use a thick layer of blubber for insulation in cold temperatures and numerous blood vessels in the outer skin layer for heat dissipation in warm temperatures.
Strategien zur Thermoregulation bei Meeressäugern, z. B. Walen und Robben: Kalte Temperatur: Eine sehr dicke Schicht isolierenden Fetts direkt unter der Haut, genannt Blubber. Warme Temperatur: Große Anzahl von Blutgefäßen in der äußeren Hautschicht.
