Resumo

A previous attempt to calculate the minimum size of aquatic endotherms, specifically neonate dolphins, based on estimating heat losses is reviewed. The shortcomings are identified and the sensitivity of the results to uncertainties in the assumptions are studied. Alternative approaches are considered but there is insufficient information to make an accurate prediction.
