HUMPBACK WHALES I. BIOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY Although their general shape resembles that of a fish, humpback whales are mammals just like humans, and exhibit a number of traits common to all mammals including the following: they are warm blooded they breathe air they bear live young and nurse them with milk Like all whales and dolphins, humpback whales belong to the order cetacea . An order is the fourth level used in biological classification. Biological classification is the method by which all living organisms are scientifically named and classified. The science of biological classification is called taxonomy . There are seven levels of biological classification, the remaining levels are listed below: Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species- contains those organisms most closely related; the basic unit of taxonomy Living organisms are classified largely on the degree of evolutionary relatedness which they share, as well as their anatomical and biochemical similarities. The degree of evolutionary relatedness increases as you progress down the list; members of the same kingdom are not necessarily as closely related as members of the same species. A species possesses those organisms which are the most closely related and is considered the basic unit of taxonomy. Every living organism is given a species name and a genus to which it belongs. Naming organisms by genus and species is universally employed throughout biology and allows scientists to communicate effectively about specific organisms. Assigning each organism a genus and species name is referred to as

Last updated - 10/04/2001 Welcome to 'Whales and Dolphins (Yeeeaaahhh)'!!! Once subtitled 'the most irrelevant Terrorvision website on the net', I stopped using this phrase when I realised that any site containing copious references to alcohol and rock music can't fail to be anything but totally relevant to the boys from Bradford! But within these virtual pages, you will not find the usual claptrap associated with other, less innovative (but far more frequently visited), band fanzine pages. Oh no. Gone are the individual profiles, no more is the detailed band history, even lyrics, tab (although I heartily commend fellow bassists) and gigographies are strangely absent. The emphasis here is on humour (Bradford style), alcohol, and generally giving fellow fans and nubile newcomers alike some suitably silly stuff to peruse. So stay, put your feet up, have a look around and a nice cup of (Irish) coffee, you may (just) find something interesting enough to waste another twenty minutes' worth of phone/server bill. I promise... THIS IS THE END... MY ONLY FRIEND

WDCS welcomes the document in that it clearly acknowledges the seriousness of the problem of cetacean bycatch in fisheries in UK waters and beyond, makes a firm commitment to take action and finally sets out the Government's proposals for what that action could be. However WDCS has serious concerns about the efficacy of some of the proposals. The aim of the strategy lacks precision, the targets set are unambitious and timeframes inadequate. Furthermore research into the possible harmful impacts of the widespread use of pingers is not adequately catered for.

in Manly Alex displays his tail In August this year Alex, a rare Southern Right whale, made the harbour waters around Manly his home for a couple of weeks. Alex spent his days cruising between North Harbour and Balmoral in Middle Harbour. He seemed to particularly like the waters off Dobroyd Head right in the Manly Ferry lane. Thousands of Sydney siders flocked to the headlands to see him and Alex didn't disappoint them. The longer Alex stayed the more it seemed he knew just what people wanted to see. He frequently put on acrobatic displays of tail waving and belly flopping. The National Parks rangers in their inflatable Zodiacs reported that Alex would sometimes come up beind them and playfully nudge them along. coming up for a breath Alex shows off for the ferry One day he charged up out of the waters of North Harbour just metres away from Basil Evans who was rowing his tiny dingy to his yacht. A very shaken Mr Evans quickly made for shore. There is a strong possibility that Alex was the calf that was born in the waters off Sydney in 1994. This calf was given the name Dennis at the time. If this is the case then there is a good chance that Alex may become a regular visitor to Sydney Harbour as Southern Rights often have a loyalty to the place of their birth.

Seabirds and Whales of Louisiana The Louisiana Ornithological Society (LOS) sponsors daylong expeditions starting from Port Fourchon, LA, to search the deep waters off the mouth of the Mississippi River for seabirds, whales, and dolphins. In many ways these have been voyages of discovery; scientific knowledge of the seabirds of the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana is limited and fragmentary. If you want to know more about this, here are links. Seabirds . We've seen over a dozen species of birds not normally found on or near land in Louisiana, including some first records for the state. Whales and dolphins . The Gulf of Mexico isn't dense with mammals, but it hosts a remarkable diversity of cetacean species. Here are some we've seen. Trip lists . What are the chances of seeing Red-billed Tropicbird, Sperm Whale, or some other sought-after species on these trips? Judge for yourself from these listings. Do you want to go on one of these trips?

The Makah plan to start killing Gray whales in October. Sea Shepherd's Gray Whale Protecion Campaign is going on now. Our long-range ship Sea Shepherd III and coastal patrol vessel EdwardAbbey are now on site, in opposition the planned whale hunt. Sea Shepherd has organized the local Whale Guardians Network to coordinate the actions necessary to head off the hunt. We need your financial support, your physical presence, or your efforts to spread the word on what is about to happen off the coast ofWashington! The "ceremonial" element of this hunt is being promoted to make the killing more palatable to the public. The real goal of the hunt is to use the "aboriginal" loopholes in the international whaling moratorium togain a foothold for a new era of commercial whale meat trade. Through the recent formation of the World Whaling Council in Port Alberni, British Columbia, Japan is using native groups who feel they have the right to kill whales as front groups in a long-range plan to re-start commercial whaling. At the International Whaling Commission meeting in Dublin in May 1995, Dan Greene, the delegate from the Makah nation, met with representatives of the Norwegian, Icelandic, and Japanese whaling associations, who are whaling over the objections of the IWC and in violation of IWC regulations. The three whaling nations have pledged to support the Makah.

HOME MINKE RIGHT FINBACK ... SHARKS The Bay of Fundy Whales Updated 03/02/16 I n Micmac lore, it was a giant whale, who angered the god Glooscap and created such a splash with his mighty tail, that the water sloshes back and forth to this day. In actuality, the story of the tremendous Bay of Fundy tides is no less the stuff of legends. Some 350 million years ago, it was not Glooscap, but rather the sun and moon who conspired to create this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon. That is, some 100 million years before the first dinosaurs roamed the earth, this pulsing arm of the North Atlantic was formed, its unique shape amplifying the tides to staggering proportions. New Brunswick's Bay of Fundy is an eco-attraction on par with such marvels as the Great Barrier Reef of Australia and the Rain Forest of Brazil. It's mighty tides are the greatest on earth. Every day, twice daily, one hundred billion tons of seawater roll in and out of the Bay. At low tide, you can literally walk on the ocean floor. At high tide, just six hours later, your footprints will be covered by the ocean. In some places, the vertical difference between high and low tide is 14 meters- roughly the same height as a four storey building! Whales in the Bay Finback Whales The Bay of Fundy giant and the second largest in the world. It can grow to 24 meters (80 feet) and weight 73 tonnes (80 tons). Finbacks have a tall "blow" and are evenly distributed throughout the mouth of the bay.

Whale Evolution SPERM WHALE Physeter macrocephalus Sperm Whale printout Label Me! Printout Sperm Whale Connect-the-Dots GENERAL DESCRIPTION The sperm whale is a toothed whale that lives in pods. It has a huge brain that weighs about 20 pounds (9 kg); it is the largest brain of any animal. The sperm whale has a single blowhole that is s-shaped and about 20 inches long. The blowhole is located on the left side of the front if its huge head. The sperm whale has a 4-12 inch thick layer of blubber. Sperm whales produce ambergris, a dark, waxy substance (related to cholesterol) that is produced in the lower intestines, and is sometimes found containing squid beaks. Ambergris may help protect the sperm whale from the stings on the giant squid, its major food. Large lumps of ambergris may be vomited up by the sperm whale. The fictional Moby Dick was a sperm whale. SIZE Sperm whales are the largest toothed whales. Adult males grow to be about 50-60 feet (17-20 m) long, weighing about 40-50 tons (36-45 tonnes). Females are smaller, about 33-40 feet (11-13 m) long, weighing about 14-18 tons. The four-chambered heart of the average sperm whale weighs about 277 pounds (126 kg) - about as much as two average adult human beings.

Whales and Dophins Whales and Dolphins are marine animals. They live in oceans around the world. Whales and Dolphins come from the same family, CETACEA (sey-tay-sha) . They both breath from a blowhole located at the top of their head. Whales and dolpins are mammals. They are mammals because they have lungs not gills,they have hair not scales , and they also have give live birth and don't lay eggs. There are only about 80 kinds of whales and dolphins that we know of right now. Whales Whales are very large animals. They can grow up to 100 ft. or more in length. They can weigh up to 200 tons or more. Whales live in families called pods. These pods vary in numbers and consist of family members and family friends. Whales live in these families their whole life. Group living is safer when other whales or sharks attack. It also makes it easier to find food. Whales are always migrating. They travel to find food, breed and have young. Whales do not have eyelids. They rely on thick oily tears to protect their eyes. Whales hear from little holes behind their eyes. Whales talk to each other by making high pitched sounds like whistles, clicks, squeaks, rattles, and groans.
