     Extractions: Alaska Science Forum February 15, 2001 Bowhead Whales May Be the World's Oldest Mammals Article # 1529 by Ned Rozell This column is provided as a public service by the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, in cooperation with the UAF research community. Ned Rozell is a science writer at the institute. While helping Alaska Native whale hunter Billy Adams cut sections of blubber from a bowhead whale, Biologist Craig George pressed his knife into a deep scar in the whale's skin. The knife made a crunching noise, so George cut deeper. Minutes later, he pulled out a sharp harpoon point the whale had been carrying for perhaps a century. Ten years earlier, whaling captain Fred Ahmaogak from Wainwright found an ivory harpoon tipped with a metal blade. As of early 2001, hunters have recovered six of these old harpoon points from bowhead whales. Along with new chemical evidence from the whales' eyes, the harpoon tips suggest that the bowhead may be the oldest living mammal on Earth. George, who works for the North Slope Borough in Barrow, has studied bowheads for 21 years. The whales grow to 60 feet, weigh one ton at birth, and can weigh more than 120,000 pounds as adults. Insulated by blubber more than one foot thick and shielded by heavy bones in their skulls used to break holes in sea ice, bowheads spend their entire lives in northern waters.

     Extractions: Passengers and crew have just had a great time with three Humpbacks heading towards Middle Channel between Michaelmas and Breaksea Islands, they were very energetic and it was a great sighting. Sail-A-Way is now heading back into the Middleton Beach area to have a look at the Southern Rights who are very close to the beach. Sail-A-Way is planning to go out again this afternoon while the weather holds, although a even a strong south-westerly will leave Middleton Beach sheltered for us and the whales!

106. Arctic Science Journeys Radio: Bowheads Feeding Less In Beaufort Sea

     Extractions: INTRO: STORY: About the only thing a bowhead whale has to do to get a meal is open its gigantic mouth and swim through the water. Inside the whale's mouth are rows of fibrous plates, called baleen. Baleen acts as a kind of filter to siphon off millions of energy-rich zooplankton. On a good day, a bowhead whale will gorge on more than a ton of these tiny, crustacean-like animals. And while baleen helps the bowhead gather food, it's also helping scientist Sang Lee learn where bowhead whales feed as they migrate through Arctic waters. LEE: "Baleen plates provide a continuous record of food sources as it grows. It's a kind of a history of feeding during its life that I can look at." Lee discovered that the Eastern Beaufort Sea above Alaska and Canada is an important feeding area for bowhead whales, especially subadult whales. He also discovered that the younger bowhead whales feed about ten percent less in the Eastern Beaufort Sea today than they did during the mid-1980s. Estimated average feeding activity of adult and sub-adult bowhead whales in the eastern Beaufort Sea during two time periods. Vertical lines are standard deviations.

     Extractions: Born in Washington, D.C. and raised in a family of naturalists, Jean George has centered her life around writing and nature. She attended Pennsylvania State University, graduating with degrees in English and science. In the 1940s she was a member of the White House press corps and a reporter for The Washington Post. Ms. George, who has written over sixty books-among them My Side of the Mountain, a 1960 Newbery Honor Book, and its 1990 sequel On the Far Side of the Mountain (both Dutton)-also hikes, canoes, and makes sourdough pancakes. In 1991, Ms. George became the first winner of the School Library Media Section of the New York Library Association's Knickerbocker Award for Juvenile Literature, which was presented to her for the "consistent superior quality" of her literary works. Her inspiration for the Newbery Medal-winning Julie of the Wolves evolved from two specific events during a summer she spent studying wolves and tundra at the Arctic Research Laboratory of Barrow, Alaska: "One was a small girl walking the vast and lonesome tundra outside of Barrow; the other was a magnificent alpha male wolf, leader of a pack in Denali National Park.... They haunted me for a year or more as did the words of one of the scientists at the lab: 'If there ever was any doubt in my mind that a man could live with the wolves, it is gone now. The wolves are truly gentlemen, highly social and affectionate.' "
