After years of careful development, research, and bringing together one of the finest production teams anywhere, National Wildlife Federation Destination Cinema and Zephyr Productions Whales brings to the giant screen the drama, joy and poetry of the underwater domain of some of the largest creatures to ever live on earth! The film shows the habitats and lives of the Humpback Right Blue and Orca whales, as well as countless other wondrous creatures which share their undersea environs or patrol the shores nearby.
The world premiere of Whales took place at the Museum of Science in Boston. The film is now opening at large-format theaters around the world.

1. Whale watching world-wide
Whale watching as a commercial activity began in 1955 in NorthAmerica along the southern California coast. Today, whale watchingis carried on in the waters of some 40 countries, plus Antarctica.All the large whale species and many dolphins and porpoises canbe seen regularly on a wide range of tours, lasting from an hourto two weeks. Whale watching is a non-consumptive use of whaleswith economic, recreational, educational and scientific dimensions.The economic benefits occur in areas where whale watching hasquickly become a significant aspect of a local tourism economy. If prospective tour operators examine areas where whale-watchingindustries have matured and learn from their experiences, whalewatching world-wide can continue to grow with maximum benefitsaccruing to local communities, companies, scientists, conservationsocieties, whale watchers and, ultimately, the whales themselves.(Cit:Hoyt E.1992.

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.

What is a Whale?
LIVING IN THE OCEAN

Whales are large, magnificent, intelligent, aquatic mammals . They breathe air through blowhole(s) into lungs (unlike fish who breathe using gills). Whales have sleek, streamlined bodies that move easily through the water. They are the only mammals, other than manatees (seacows), that live their entire lives in the water, and the only mammals that have adapted to life in the open oceans.
Whales breathe air. They are NOT fish. They are mammals that spend their entire lives in the water.
Cetaceans are the group of mammals that includes the whales, dolphins, and porpoises.
Like all mammals:
  • Whales breathe air into lungs,
  • Whales have hair (although they have a lot less than land mammals, and have almost none as adults),
  • Whales are warm-blooded (they maintain a high body temperature)

Elsberry I have listed below most species of cetaceans. Links will follow under each species. The listing follows taxonomic lines, rather than alphabetized common names or something similar. If you know a common name, but not a scientific name, try using your browser's search function for the common name. The taxonomy comes from both Peter Evans' "Biology of Whales and Dolphins" and Leatherwood and Reeves' "Handbook of Whales and Dolphins". There are a few discrepancies between the two.
