	Not completely true,  in addition to aquatic animals, large animals
also lose their hair(the elephant belongs in this category *not* aquatic).
Humanity also belongs in this category - we are larger than about 90% of
all animals now living, and the size effect is more pronounced in the tropics
where mankind came from.
