Just to clarify something (before I recieve a confused e-mail), by one of
dozens I was considering other lamniformes and other endothermic,
bradymetabolic fish like tuna. I'm not too sure of their numbers, but I am
sure it would fall under millions. The point was just to state that this
was these insulated aquatic bradymetabolics were exceptions and not the rule.
