9. 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

About NWF Contact Us Search IN-DEPTH RESOURCES: OUR PROGRAMS WHERE WE WORK NEWSROOM Home ... Donate Today 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.

(58k .au file) to hear whales song like sound. (104k .au file) to hear the humpbacks song. (160k .au file) Explanation: Whales sounds are produced by moving air back and forth through body passages. These haunting sounds may travel kilometres under water and can be heard above the surface. The intricate vocalisations produced range from high squeaks to low guttural growls, with many being at a frequency so low that they can not be heard by humans. Often, the sounds produced are organised into long sequences and are called songs. Humpback whales are thought to produce the longest and most varied songs in the animal world, especially during the breeding season. Only male humpbacks sing. Each sequence normally lasts 10 - 15 minutes and can be repeated without pause, for hours. A blue whale song may last ten hours. Analysis has shown that sequences are always arranged into cycles characteristic of each population, so that all humpbacks in one area sing only the local song. These songs evolve with time and each year the song is a little different.

18. CETACEA: Physeter Macrocephalus (Sperm Whale) Provides information such as classification, distribution, local names, description, habitat, and behavior. http://www.cetacea.org/sperm.htm

The Sperm Whale is found in all oceans of the world, and, although well-known in the Mediterranean, rarely enters semi-enclosed or shallow seas. Males venture into the extremes of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres more frequently than females ever do. In summer they migrate to higher latitudes in both hemispheres but return to lower latitudes in winter, though some populations are resident all year round. Classification: The Sperm Whale, Physeter macrocephalus , was classified by Linnaeus, with Physeter meaning 'blower' (referring to the whale's forceful, singular spout). There is, however, some disagreement about whether the Sperm Whale's specific name should be macrocephalus (meaning 'big head') or catodon (meaning 'teeth only in lower jaw'), although the former is generally accepted. Local Names: Cachalot; Kaskelot; Cachalote; Great Sperm Whale. This cetacean's common name is derived from the milky wax substance in its head which early whalers likened to the fluid produced by the testes to carry sperm. Description: Made famous by Herman Melville's Moby Dick , this is the species most people associate with the word 'whale'. The largest of the toothed whales, it is dark brown to dark grey in colour, with occasional albino and black individuals being recorded. The skin is wrinkly and may be scarred. Although the triangular tail flukes are broad and powerful, flippers are short and stubby, and the dorsal fin is usually more akin to a series of humps down the tail stock's ridge than an actual 'fin'. The Sperm Whale's head is over a third of the total body length of the animal, and is well-known for being big and bulky and barrel-shaped. Males are 15-20.5m in length and weigh between 45-57 tonnes, with females measuring 11-13m and weighing around 20 tonnes. The lower jaw holds approximately 50 rounded teeth in two parallel rows, each tooth weighing over a kilogram.
