    Extractions: Our playground, the rural Waianae Coast of Oahu, offers many different kinds of marine life including dolphins, whales, turtles, tropical fish, spotted eagle rays, sponges, and coral reef inhabitants just to name a few. The Waianae Range is on the west coast of Oahu, Hawaii. It is largely shielded from the rains brought into the islands by the Northeasterly bearing trade winds by its neighbor, Koolau Volcano. This makes Waianae much drier than the Koolaus, particularly on its westward (leeward) slopes. This dryness keeps runoff to a minimum and thus, some of the clearest water in Hawaii is found at the beaches of the Waianae coast. This area is also reputed to have the most extensive coral reefs in the state. It's not surpirsing then that there is fascinating marine life all along the Leeward Coast. The Northwestern tip, at Ka'ena Point appears to be a magnet for marine mammals. We are currently conducting research to determine the extent of this phenomenon. Click on the links to the left to learn more about some of the creatures we have become quite friendly with.

    http://www.aquarium.org/whales/orca/orca01.htm
    
    Extractions: Orcinus orca Root Meanings Orcinus may be from the Latin orca for "a kind of whale," or from the Latin orcynus for "a kind of tunny," referring to the species' resemblance to tuna or to its habit of preying on them. Other common names : whale killer, sea wolf, orca, blackfish. The term "killer" is derived from the fact that this whale attacks and consumes warm-blooded, as well as cold-blooded, animals. Early fisherman called them whale killers, and some time in history this name was reversed and became killer whale.

Instead they have keratin baleen plates, suspended from the roof of the mouth All species have teeth. There number of teeth varies from 2 in some beaked whales to more than 250 in some dolphin species.

58. In Theaters -- Television And Giant Screen -- National Wildlife Federation
    National Wildlife Federation film about whales, narrated by Patrick Stewart.  
    http://www.nwf.org/productions/whales.html
    
    Extractions: Whales The first giant screen film from the National Wildlife Federation, Whales melds a stunning combination of art and science to give audiences a fresh, new perspective on these mysterious marine mammoths. Filmed in IMAX®, the production captures the wonder of being among whales, and results in what critics have called a "breathtaking," and "dazzling poetic experience." Actor Patrick Stewart , best known for his role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in "Star Trek: The Next Generation," narrates. Traveling through the coastal waters of Alaska, Newfoundland, California, Patagonia, Hawaii, and Columbia, the film has captured the amazing grace of whales and offers surprising insights into their lives. Encounter up-close a creature whose heart is the size of a small car and contains blood vessels large enough for a child to crawl through. Find out how humpback whales create bubble nets to capture food. Come eye-to-eye with killer whale clans as they use various techniques to locate and trap prey. Learn how right whales hold their tails up to "sail" on gentle ocean breezes. And encounter a myriad of other aquatic life, including giant manta ray. Following blue, humpback, orca, right whales, and dolphins, viewers discover how the underwater dimension of sound influences all aspects of a whale's existence. The watery world of these huge animals is dominated by sound rippling through the vast corridors of oceanic cathedrals. To whales, these vocalizations are not only a means of communication, but also of survival. Sound guides whales on their long migrations, helps them attract mates, challenges competitors, and assists them with organizing hunting activities.
