Hello-My mom and i are working on this question for science fair, and it has not 
been easy to research!  I was interested in the question because of Ann Bancroft 
crossing the south pole, and if she'd be warmer if she was fatter or more 
muscled.  I know fat helps keep certain animals warm.  Thank you very much for 
your help and looking at this question!
