Live birth vs eggs might be determining factor?
I can vouch that in fact, Ariel keeps hand warmers under her shells.

Are you bragging that *your* hands have gotten that lucky?

I've only seen interesting things backstage after a PAC shift, I forgot that the gutter minds on here would not think of hand warmers in the proper sense.

Recently, on Wheel of Fortune, you know how Pat and Vanna have those little conversations at the end of the show? Well, Pat and Vanna were commenting on how cold it was in the studio, and Vanna pulled these hand warmers out of her cleavage. Vanna was saying it was the only way she said she could stay warm, and Pat was saying he was going to sell them on Ebay.

Some non-mammals give live birth. Some species of sharks, including the great white, and all rays give birth. It's not like mammalian birth; it's oviviparous, which means egg cases are still involved. The babies hatch while the cases are still inside the mother. (A newborn ray is INSANELY CUTE. They come out rolled up like a cannoli!) Oh and guppies, which are ray-finned fish and possibly closer to Ariel than sharks are, give live birth. OH and so do coelacanths! Which was news to me. I heart coelacanths. Pretty little lobe-finned fish. (Unrelated to the live-birth thing, we are more closely related to coelacanths than we are to any ray-finned fish - that is, our common ancestor with coelacanths is more recent than our common ancestor with the ray-finned fishes.)
And of course some not-quite-mammals lay eggs - the monotremes: the platypus and the spiny echidna.

As for Ariel, since she has hair and presumably milk-producing breasts, she's probably a mammal. It's a good bet that she's warm-blooded, too.

I would think that this would depend on what part of the ocean she lives in. Off the Florida Keys, not so much showing, but off the coast of Maine, well, the view would be "outstanding", I'm thinking.

Right! I heard the answer as "Because B-shells are too small and D-shells are too big." :D:
