Hi all, I am doing a comparative study looking at insulation, and am in need of blubber thickness measurements for pinniped species, especially sea lions and walrus (though all species are welcome). I could also use subcutaneous fat thickness measurements for sea otters and polar bears. Preference is for a mid-dorsal location, but any number is useful. These values could be from published or unpublished data, and/or necropsies. All sources will be dutifully cited and acknowledged (as long as that information is provided). Thanks so much!
