Check the Wikipedia article on the Pacific bluefin tuna. It says tuna and mackerel sharks have this ability. I first read about tuna being warm-blooded a few years ago. I don't know how long it's been known, but the opah isn't the first found.Vireyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16464838238295059335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-40597211362556189452015-05-15T15:33:47.220-05:002015-05-15T15:33:47.220-05:00The leatherback sea turtle is a modern-day example...The leatherback sea turtle is a modern-day example of an animal that is ectothermic and homeothermic due to gigantothermy.Aritê gunê Akasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619166885106439477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-80303536060534602292015-05-15T15:33:04.208-05:002015-05-15T15:33:04.208-05:00That's the story this comment is from (see the...That's the story this comment is from (see the first sentence), just a different site's copy of it.Aritê gunê Akasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619166885106439477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-25987376202849189982015-05-15T13:17:53.695-05:002015-05-15T13:17:53.695-05:00And there was an article in the Washington Post to...And there was an article in the Washington Post today about a warm-blooded fish, the opah, found on the West Coast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-18879188658107233502015-05-15T12:56:44.821-05:002015-05-15T12:56:44.821-05:00Thank you, Anderov.Thank you, Anderov.Minnesotastanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382888179579245181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-57427028615597447352015-05-15T12:52:25.579-05:002015-05-15T12:52:25.579-05:00Endothermic and homeothermic are not synonymous (n...Endothermic and homeothermic are not synonymous (nor are ectothermic and poikilothermic). Bats in torpor (and hummingbirds, which similarly "shut down" at night) would be endothermic and poikilothermic. An animal that was capable of maintaining steady temperature by virtue of size (increased volume:surface area ratio, also called gigantothermy), as some have hypothesized sauropod dinosaurs to be, could be ectothermic and homeothermic.Anderovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051421788339751222noreply@blogger.com
