    Slow metabolism is a useful adaptation for whales because the whales must
    have extra blubber to stay warm for the frigid arctic waters in their
    migration. Blubber also keeps whales buoyant. Blubber even stores food so
    the whales can eat huge amounts when and where foood is plentiful, and
    when food is scarce whales live off the food they have stored. Humans do
    not migrate or live in water, so that we do not need to support on blubber
    to survive in frigid arctic waters.
