embedded in the mud or sand of the seabed. Today, in addition to the bottlenose dolphins, the Navy program includes sea lions and white beluga whales. The sea lions have excellent hearing and can dive much deeper than dolphins. They are trained for marking mines and retrieving torpedoes or practice mines, all while being more efficient than human divers. The white beluga whales dive deeper than the sea lions to recover inert torpedoes and are currently on loan from Sea World. Although it is remarkable that
Whale weighs as much as 20 elephants but lives beneath the sea. The blue whale is Earth's largest animal. Larger than the largest of ancient dinosaurs, blue whales can grow to be more than 100 feet (30 meters) long and weigh nearly 150 tons. Not all whales are so large. The much smaller pilot whale grows to about 28 feet (8.5 meters) in length. And dolphins, which belong to the whale family, range only from 3 to 13 feet (1 to 4 meters).

Stop killing whales Imagine you are on a boat out in the middle of the ocean. All of the sudden, there is a large black shape that jumps out of the water. It has long fins, and a white underside. It hops out, and then flops on its back shooting water high into the air. It creates a huge splash that causes your boat to rock back and forth in the waves. With a heart the size of a small car, and cells so big that a trout can swim through them, these creatures are giants. But believe it or not, they

In 1861, PT Barnum purchased what are believed to be the first cetaceans in captivity: six beluga whales from the St. Lawrence River who were shipped in boxcars filled with seaweed to a museum. The animals all died within two years. But Barnum’s belugas opened the doors to a lucrative business: the capture of cetaceans continued throughout the 1800s until the first oceanarium opened in 1938. While up until the 1960s capture

investigate SeaWorld after the death of killer whale trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010. ‘Blackfish’ depicts that life at SeaWorld is harmful for killer whales and that the company has attempted to cover up the facts surrounding the death of Dawn Brancheau, as well the history of Tilikum, the killer whale involved in that accident.

Their black and white color pattern makes them one of the most easily recognized animals on Earth, and their intelligence and strength makes them apex predators.

Though the common name of the Orca is “killer whale” or “orca whale”, the orca is not in fact a whale. The orca is actually
natural body of water. Most of the whales and dolphins have been living in captivity for many years and wouldn’t be able to survive in the wild anymore. A sea sanctuary would let them retire from performing, have less forced family groups, and have a more natural, peaceful environment for them to live in. The idea is that the sea sanctuaries would eventually be empty since there won’t be anymore breeding of the captive animals or capturing of wild animals. The Whale Sanctuary Project is looking for

In chapter 74 Ismael is comparing two whales heads hanging on the pequod. He definitely expresses and describes what he sees in the whale and theorizes what he thinks the whale is doing. Ishmael states “while in most other animals that I can now think of, the eyes are so planted as imperceptibly to blend their visual power, so as to produce one picture and not two to the brain; the peculiar position of the whale’s eyes, effectually divided as they are by many cubic feet of solid head, which towers
