The lack of adipose tissue is a huge disadvantage. Its main role is to store energy as fat, act as cushion and insulation. most animals do not depend on body weight but on the amt of body fat. With all of this surface area being subjected to environments its not ready for, survival looks bleak. The stored fat would be crucial for thermal regulation.<br><b>References : </b><br>wikipedia It seems like the baby doesn’t have the means to generate energy.
