[CINC] Whales get a tan, too: Pigment in whale skin increases in response to sunshine

[Kenneth A. Tatro]

Thanks Carol,

Very interesting, to be sure,

As climate change is definitely effecting much all across the planet, it may be a bit early in our info cycle on this topic to make the connection to that phenomena. We may want to question how long has this been going on and to what intensity, among other good questions? Yet it is definitely something to watch.

It is so very cool that each of us finding a little piece of information can pass it on to the rest of us, thus we all gain by it. Where each of us, alone, may find good info as we go along, but not have the resource of many more "eyes" sharing all the little pieces they encounter, as we have here, we would be limited in our knowledge growth to only our own research and discoveries.

Thanks again for this, Carol, very interesting to be sure.
