Whale

Killer whales make up a huge part of the ecosystem. Also known as orca’s, they are one of the most powerful predators in the world. They are very intelligent creatures that thrive in both cold and warm waters. And in both salt and freshwater. While there are many aspects that make up such an amazing mammal they make up a huge part of the world, in and out of water. Killer whales are very efficient hunters. They eat approximately 551 pounds of food each day. Their diet consists of squids,…

dastardly effects are that of the orca whales. The largest of the captive marine animals and possibly the most unpredictable. Their lives at SeaWorld are spent lifelessly floating around in tanks proportionally the size of a bath tub. Former whale trainer, John Hargrove, once said: Unfortunately, after all the years of experience that I had, I saw the psychological and physical trauma that…

Imagine being with your family and friends on any given day and all of a sudden someone takes you away from them. This is what parks are doing to get orcas, which is considered to be kidnapping and if it were children instead of whales it would be illegal. They are kidnapping them in the wild and making the orca their entertainment slave so they can gain a profit. What they are doing is inhumane and also not healthy for these orcas. Seaworld and other parks want to entertain people and make…

False Killer Whales versus Killer Whales Both Killer whales (Orcinus orca) and False killer whales (Pseudorca Crassidens) belong to the Delphinidae family. False killer whales resemble orcas because of the shape of their skulls, but the two species are actually not closely related (Baird, 2012). False killer whales are found in all tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate seas (MarineBio, 2013), usually in relatively deep offshore waters (Taylor, et al., 2008). In contrast, killer whales are…

Found in oceans and seas throughout the world, the Megaptera novaeangliae, also commonly known as the humpback whale, is one of many species that dictates the environment surrounding them. As they migrate from the polar waters where they prefer to feed during the summer to tropical waters to breed during the winter, they cover up to 16,000 miles each year. But how does each whale know exactly what to do, where to go, and who to follow? They accomplish this through their communication system of…

novels and live entertainment can all have the same topic: marine creatures. In fact, when you hear some relaxation music themed around whale songs, that you read a novel titled Moby Dick, which is a legendary white sperm whale or even some facts about the blue whale, being the largest mammal on Earth, it is easy to think of whales. The confusion comes when the term whale is part of a sea creature's name. You see, when people talk about sharks, their mind is subdued by both the theme song and…

The Whale is a large, magnificent, intelligent and aquatic mammal. They breath from a hole on top of their head called a blowhole, into their lungs. The whale has a very smooth skin that covers their very streamlined body that moves easily through the water. They are the only mammal that has adapted to life in the open oceans. Whales are considered to be "cetaceans  which means various aquatic life chiefly marine mammals of the order cetacean, including whales, dolphins and porpoises,…

Chris Crutcher’s purpose for , “Whale Talk”, was to show us how racism never goes away, bullying is a constant thing in today's society, and how harassment happen no matter what. The main character is T.j, he is mixed and he’s adopted. So he gets bullied a lot, but he doesn’t let it get to him. This book shows that bullies will do anything to put down their victim. The bully, Barbour gets mad when Chris is wearing his dead brothers letterman jacket, Barbour harrasses Chris and threatens him…

it is no wonder whales can't live in peace and quiet. So it is our job to bring a halt to all the noise and allow these beautiful creatures to live in peace! I think that the underwater noise does in fact, affect the live of whales and many sea creatures. One reason I do believe that these noises are affecting whales is because scientist conducted an experiment over a two year span, and found out that the these sonar testings are interrupting the communication between whales. I know this…

Humpback Whale In this paper, I will discuss a Humpback Whale biome of their choosing as an animal from that biome. I will explain how a humpback whale lives in weather and their biome. Also, I will explain where does a humpback whale live at in different oceans. The humpback whale is a species of baleen whale. A humpback whale is one of the larger rorqual species, adults range in length from 12-16 meters 39-52 feet and weigh approximately 36,000 kilograms 79,000 pounds. The humpback has a…
