Alaska Science Forum February 15, 2001 Bowhead Whales May Be the World's Oldest Mammals Article # 1529 by Ned Rozell This column is provided as a public service by the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, in cooperation with the UAF research community. Ned Rozell is a science writer at the institute. While helping Alaska Native whale hunter Billy Adams cut sections of blubber from a bowhead whale, Biologist Craig George pressed his knife into a deep scar in the whale's skin. The knife made a crunching noise, so George cut deeper. Minutes later, he pulled out a sharp harpoon point the whale had been carrying for perhaps a century. Ten years earlier, whaling captain Fred Ahmaogak from Wainwright found an ivory harpoon tipped with a metal blade. As of early 2001, hunters have recovered six of these old harpoon points from bowhead whales. Along with new chemical evidence from the whales' eyes, the harpoon tips suggest that the bowhead may be the oldest living mammal on Earth. George, who works for the North Slope Borough in Barrow, has studied bowheads for 21 years. The whales grow to 60 feet, weigh one ton at birth, and can weigh more than 120,000 pounds as adults. Insulated by blubber more than one foot thick and shielded by heavy bones in their skulls used to break holes in sea ice, bowheads spend their entire lives in northern waters.

smashed (by whatever means) and hallucinating can enhance visual
creativity. I believe Jean Cocteau wrote on this very subject (his
favourite tipple was opium, apparently).

As opposed to disembodied perception, disembodied mind as, for example, in
attempts to implement mechanisms of perception and mind in computer
systems. There are a lot of elderly, rich, eccentric atheists in California
who are banking upon this kind of disembodied consciousness becoming a
reality quite soon, so that they can excercise their right to immortality
(it's in the Constitution, isn't it?) - a little optimistic, I think.
However, I'm sure you're aware that there are people working in the fields
of artificial vision and artificial intelligence who are making some small
progress in these matters. There have even been interesting attempts to

George H. Perkins
Following the original observations by Zadock Thompson in the 1850's, little significant work on the whale skeleton was done until 1908, when Vermont State Geologist George H. Perkins published an article entitled: Fossi l Cetacea of the Pleistocene of the United States and Canada (with special reference to Delphinapterus vermontanus , Thompson) . In it, Perkins provided detailed measurements of the bones and teeth, and speculated on the major questions of the w hales age, lineage and evolutionary history. The following are direct quotes from Perkin's work: "...the most important question...is whether the Vermont specimen possesses sufficient differences from Delphinapterus leucas to confirm Thompson's name vermontana . That the generic status of the specimen is correctly determined, that is, that it is a true Delphinapterus , there is, I think, no doubt, but whether it is identical with the living species leucas or should be placed as a new species, as Thompson thought, is not so readily decided." "Anyone who has studied the skeletons of living cetacea (whales) to any extent has soon become convinced of the difficulty, which in many cases amounts to impossibility, of satisfactorily determining the specific identity of two skeletons, or pa rts of them, unless there is opportunity to make direct comparison of the bones. Even then it is not always easy to arrive at certainty. The difficulties arise from the considerable individual variation in the same species and in a greater or less gener al similarity which is found in skeletons of different species or even genera."

George Fitzsimmons
Those who knew George Fitzsimmons were shocked by his death in the tragic fire at Mt Kuring-gai on Thursday 8th June 2000. He was one of three NPWS field officers killed during a back-burning operation designed to protect private homes from bushfires next summer.
George, a Field Officer with the National Parks and Wildlife Service, had been a member of Orrca since 1992. He was a man of diverse talents, and throughout the years he worked selflessly for the organization, offering us all his skills and expertise, and above all complete dedication to the conservation of marine mammals.
He was always willing to discuss ideas about marine mammal rescue operations, and to provide us with encouragement to reach new goals.
One of George's roles in Orrca was directing the Rapid Response Team, which is responsible for rescuing marine mammals entangled in nets and ropes. This is a team of Orrca and NPWS officers who, since 1994, have shared their knowledge and expertise in the classroom and at regular practice days on the Hawkesbury River, disentangling our famous black whale called 'Millie' - a whale that George himself had helped design and build.
Shortly after the team was formed, we had our first challenge: to rescue a seal entangled with ropes and buoys off Sydney Heads. The next challenge was in 1998 with a humpback trailing a huge load of shark netting off Collaroy. The team worked in difficult sea conditions and it was late in the afternoon before the whale was finally freed of its burden and headed south.

72. Whale Watching In Canada - Listing Of Tour Operators!
Interactive Outdoors, St. George, Whale watching, DeepSea fishing. ScenicMarine Tours, St. George, Bay of Fundy, Whale watching, scuba diving.
http://www3.sympatico.ca/jackygirl/whale.html
Have a 'Whale of a Time' whale watching in Canada's Bay of Fundy, Bay of Chaleur or British Columbia's exciting West Coast. Hundreds of value priced whale watching tours for you and the entire family - and most guarantee memorable sightings - don't forget your camera or camcorder! Whale watching in the bay of Fundy - Humpbacks are curious, you never know who is watching who! Take the family, especially the youngsters, on an adventure with nature's largest mammals - a breathtaking experience you will never forget! Bringing a camera is a 'must', camcorder even better! Canada's west coast, occasionally east coast, provides an unequalled opportunity to see resident pods of the majestic Orca or 'Killer Whale' in their natural environment. These streamlined beauties offer wonderful entertainment as they frolic, oblivious to man's presence! Bring your camera!
The vast majority of whale watching excursions and day-trips last 2-5 hours and your transportation can vary from a sea-kayak or "zodiac", up to a larger vessel carrying hundreds of passengers - it's your choice! Most tour operators offer a "see whales or your money back" policy! This is important as high winds or intense fog conditions will invariably cancel an outing. Remember, watching whales involves a trip on the ocean where temperatures decrease and wind increases so carry that sweater or jacket with you - to be on the safe side. U.S. and foreign guests will also be able to take advantage of the low priced Canadian Dollar so your money goes so much further (ie: U.S.$ buys $1.50 value in Canada - that's a 50% benefit)! Remember the camera or video camera so that adventure of a lifetime can be seen over and over again!

    Chapter lxxxii - THE HONOR AND GLORY OF WHALING
    page 359 There are some enterprises in which a careful disorderliness is the true method. The more I dive into this matter of whaling, and push my researches up to the very spring-head of it, so much the more am I impressed with its great honorableness and antiquity; and especially when I find so many great demi-gods and heroes, prophets of all sorts, who one way or other have shed distinction upon it, I am transported with the reflection that I myself page 360 belong, though but subordinately, to so emblazoned a fraternity. Akin to the adventure of Perseus and Andromeda - indeed, by some supposed to be indirectly derived from it - is that famous story of St. George and the Dragon; which dragon I maintain to have been a whale; for in many old chronicles whales and dragons are strangely jumbled together, and often stand for each other. "Thou art as a lion of the waters, and as a dragon of the sea," saith Ezekiel; hereby, plainly meaning a whale; in truth, some versions of the Bible use that word itself. Besides, it would much subtract from the glory of the exploit had St. George but encountered a crawling reptile of the land, instead of doing battle with the great monster of the deep. Any man may kill a snake, but only a Perseus, a St. George, a Coffin, have the heart in them to march boldly up to a whale. Let not the modern paintings of this scene mislead us; for though the creature encountered by that valiant whaleman of old is vaguely represented of a griffin- like shape, and though
