Whale

with the power to stop this. Whales will generally reside in all of the oceans throughout the world, but during the winter seasons they will go north and breed. After they have their calves, the people who capture the calves for show attractions will go up North looking for the best calves to sell to aquariums such as SeaWorld. Then separating the calves from their mothers and fathers causing much distress.…

think you'd get a little psychotic?” Lack of space and communication affects the lifespan of a whale. Knowing that, dont you want to know why at least 150 orcas have died in captivity. Even though I feel this way everyone has their own opinion on the issue. For example, some people can like the idea because they feel like it’s a way to rescue whales. It just depends on your personal opinion. Killer Whales should NOT be kept in captivity because it makes them aggressive, it causes them to fight…

Killer whales are the epitome of teamwork when it comes to hunting. When confronted by a pod of killer whales the prey has very little chance of escaping. Killer whales can be found all over the earth’s oceans and nearly everything is on the menu, which makes them an important apex predator. An animal’s feeding habits such as what and how much can determine how much of an impact the animal has on the ecosystem. In the case of the killer whale it clearly has a notch at the top of the marine…

Shamu, one of the most famous killer whales known to mankind. This whale has become well known throughout the several years that Sea World has been around. As time progresses, there has been various studies that have justified whether or not Sea World promotes a good atmosphere for these massive killer whales and whether or not these whales should be taken out of their natural habitat in order for multiple peoples’ entertainment and pleasure. Whoever was considering taking these animals out…

In this study I want to tag Biggs killer whales (Orcinus orca), also known as mammal eating or transient killer whales, in the mid-Salish sea. Biggs killer whales are named after Michael Bigg, a Canadian marine biologist who is considered the founder of killer whale research (Paterson, 2002). Bigg was the first scientist to look at the differences between killer whales that preyed on fish and stayed in one home range all year and those that preyed on mammals and live in larger unknown ranges. It…

home of the majestic creature, the killer whale, takes place in the sea; that is where they belong. In 2010, a killer whale that belongs to SeaWorld killed a trainer at SeaWorld’s Shamu Stadium in Orlando, Florida as stated in SeaWorld Trainer Killed by Killer Whale; however there is an argument on whether the killer whale genuinely killed the trainer. The news reports claimed that the trainer named Dawn Brancheau died from the attack of the killer whale; thus this tragic event shocked the whole…

In the year 1828 the first whale shark was discovered by scientists. Whale sharks are the largest fish in the sea, measuring lengths of up to 40 feet long. That is about the size of a bus. Even though the largest whale shark in the world was 40 feet long scientists think that the species could grow even larger than that. Whale sharks are carnivores so t hey eat meat. That means that they have an giant menu of small sea creatures to choose from. Their favorite meals to eat are plankton, krill,…

Andrew Thao Mrs. Blevins English 3 24 February 2018 Herman Melville This is research paper is about the man behind the whale, Herman Melville. There is a certain book that continues to make him one of America's greatest writer. That book is known as “Moby Dick”, or “The Whale”. Critical evaluators during his time did not notice the greatness of his works like today’s evaluators. Evaluators now see that his knowledge about writing was extremely advance for that time and age. This is about Herman…

Some people may not believe this, but whales have been around for over 50 million years; however, they have not always like they do today (WGBH). Scientist have found over seven different species that whales could have originated from. Some species have had four legs with a furry tail; others have had two flippers and a blubbery tail (“The Evolution”) Here are some hypotheses for how whales have became whales: evolution (depending on religion and beliefs) or whales have just always been apart…

Whales Whales in captivity is a horrible thing because the whales are separated from their familie, are forced to perform in front of screaming audiences, and they can act out and hurt humans and each other in small spaces. Male orca whales have collapsed dorsal fins. When there in the wild there dorsal fin stays straight up. When there in captivity there dorsal fin collapses. This is most likely because they are cramped up in a tight place so they can’t swim freely. The orca’s also…
