Whale Evolution SPERM WHALE Physeter macrocephalus Sperm Whale printout Label Me! Printout Sperm Whale Connect-the-Dots GENERAL DESCRIPTION The sperm whale is a toothed whale that lives in pods. It has a huge brain that weighs about 20 pounds (9 kg); it is the largest brain of any animal. The sperm whale has a single blowhole that is s-shaped and about 20 inches long. The blowhole is located on the left side of the front if its huge head. The sperm whale has a 4-12 inch thick layer of blubber. Sperm whales produce ambergris, a dark, waxy substance (related to cholesterol) that is produced in the lower intestines, and is sometimes found containing squid beaks. Ambergris may help protect the sperm whale from the stings on the giant squid, its major food. Large lumps of ambergris may be vomited up by the sperm whale. The fictional Moby Dick was a sperm whale.

83. Seasmoke Whale Watching Experience the thrill of a unique sailing tour in the orca (killer whale) waters of Johnstone Strait near Telegraph Cove and Alert Bay, Northern Vancouver Island for some of the best whale watching in the world. http://www.seaorca.com

There are no other tours on earth quite like ours! These unique and awe-inspiring tours will make you feel alive and in the wild with all things natural. Join our popular 5 and 8 hour "Sail with the Whales" tours and 4 hour Motor Cruises to view orcas (killer whales) in the core habitat waters of Johnstone Strait near Alert Bay and Telegraph Cove; these waters provide some of the BEST WHALE WATCHING opportunities in the world. Each summer, we anticipate the arrival of the northern resident Orcas in late June with peak viewing from mid July into the second week of September. Some resident pods are still in the area in October. Their arrival coincides with the arrival and migration of salmon species heading east through Johnstone Strait to their spawning streams. It is with their arrival that we commence our whale watching tours and operate until early October. In recent years there has been an increase in Humpback Whale sightings in the core area to the effect that on most days last summer, July through September, one or more Humpback Whales were sighted. Minke Whales are frequently viewed in the same area as the Humpback Whales. Already this summer, there have been numerous sightings of Humpback Whales including mothers and their calves and Minke Whales.

87. Facts About Beluga Whales Basic facts and statistics about Beluga whales. http://www.idiotica.com/encyclopedia/content/Beluga.htm

Facts about... Beluga Whales Beluga Whale Facts: Scientific Name: Merandus Bemans Spuriosious Average Length: 32 Feet Average Weight: 7 tons Life Expectancy: 75 to 100 years Food: Carnivorous; eats mostly tuna and harp seal, known, in rare cases, to attack humans. Habitat: Coastal Greece and the temperate waters of Scandinavia. Migrates in winters to coasts of Patagonia. Reproduction: Belugas mate only about once every twenty years. After a thirty day gestation period, the young are born live, usually in groups of seven or eight babies, known as "Piddlins." Population: There are currently more than 17 million Beluga Whales. Status: Not Threatened. The Beluga Whale, first discovered by Spanish explorers in 1719, is among the most misunderstood sea creatures in the animal world. The Beluga is not a "true whale," but rather a water-breathing fish closely related to the sailfish and marlin. Beluga whales have a large forehead, a sign of their high intelligence. Beluga whales are, in fact, the smartest animals on earth with an average I.Q. (intelligence quotient) of 155, a level that would be considered near genius in humans. In 1979, Russian chess master, Boris Spasky faced off in a highly publicized match with "Minsky," a thirty-four year old female beluga. Using her nose to "move" the pieces on an electronic touchpad, Minsky beat her human opponent in less than one hour! Beluga whales live long lives, feeding mainly upon seals and larger species of fish. Belugas are vicious carnivores, armed with six layers of razor-sharp teeth, and a hungry Beluga is a very dangerous animal to which any species of animal is fair preyeven humans. Belugas are especially adept at grabbing their victims from shorelines and the edges of large ditches and canals.

CNN correspondent John Zarrella was at the site as volunteers performed the painstaking task of preparing the whales for release. He gave this report to anchor Fredricka Whitfield. ZARRELLA: [The whales are] off. They're on the way. It's going to take a couple hours for them to be hauled out on boats ... [It'll be] about two-and-a-half hours before they get 12 miles offshore to the drop site. It's a historic event. Never before have five whales from a single stranding been rehabilitated and returned back to the sea.

DENNIS, Massachusetts (CNN) Rescuers successfully pushed 46 of 55 stranded pilot whales back into the water of Cape Cod Bay on Monday. The remaining nine whales died on the hot beach, they said. The rescuers, from the Cape Cod Stranding Network and other facilities, worked to keep the whales' body temperature down until the tide rose enough to enable them to be moved into deeper water. "Things appear to be going better than could even be hoped," said Scott Landry, a marine biologist with the Stranding Network. The whales were discovered early Monday morning near Chapin Beach in Dennis. Most were clumped together in a group that included adults and young. Volunteers poured water on the whales and covered them with sheets and towels to regulate their body temperatures. "The unusual part about this particular stranding is that it was such a large number of individuals in [July]," Landry said. Most such strandings occur in the spring or fall.
