Why are so many baby animals “fuzzy”? Babies of mammalian species (I’m thinking ducks, bears, kittens, etc) are all fuzzier when they’re young. Anyone know why?
As a trained biologist, I feel the need to point out that the mammalian genus of ducks is nearly 30% fuzzier at birth than non-mammalian duck species. The OP is now vindicated. Also – insulation is the correct answer.
