Whales, dolphins and porpoises
Web hosting and sponsorship by Vision Internet Services
No living animals have captured our imaginations as have the great whales... They fire our imaginations and stab at our emotions. They inspire our art, literature, and music. And so they should. The indescribable blend of grace, power, and beauty of a whale as it glides underwater, leaps toward the sky, or simply lifts its flukes and slides into the sea symbolises a vanishing poetry of the wild.

A 500 member (1998 count) organization. It is aimed at the exchange of information between dolphin and whale researchers inside and outside Europe. The ECS is therefore a scientific organization, but many members are just interested in whales and dolphins without being professional biologists.

64. Tour Of WW2 Russian Battlefields In Leningrad, Moscow, Stalingrad And Kursk
Travel agency information on fully escorted tour of WW2 battlefields in Russia including Leningrad, Moscow, Stalingrad and Kursk.
http://www.threeWhales.ru/t7.htm
D uring the tour you will visit the four cities where the most important battles of the Great Patriotic War (W.W.II) took place in the eastern front. For the Soviet Union the war began on June 22, 1941.
MOSCOW was to have a key role in this devastating war, but the initial German plans concentrated on the destruction of the Red Army, and the offensive against Moscow. By the beginning of December some German Nazi formations were only about forty km north west of the Moscow Kremlin.
STALINGRAD (now Volgograd) is a place of fierce and decisive battle which is considered by Russians a turning point in the W.W.II.
The city was totally destroyed in the battle.
KURSK. The battle near Kursk is known as the biggest tank battle in the history of mankind. The Nazi armies could not recover after this defeat.
TOUR GOAL. The tour is addressed to all people interested in learning more about the Second World War or the Great Patriotic War as Russians call it.
We have included the major cities where the biggest battles of the War took place. Some non military museums we also included. These are the museums which one can not but visit being in Russia such as Kremlin, Hermitage. We did this combination because we strongly think that culture is part of the national character which helped Russian together with the allies to win the Second World War.

Whales and dolphins are a group of mammals called cetaceans that spend their entire lives in water. Today there are around 77 different species of cetaceans, inhabiting our oceans from the cold Antarctic Continent in the south to the Arctic Sea around the North Pole. There are two very different groups of cetaceans: Baleen whales and Toothed whales. Whales and dolphins are among the most intelligent and mysterious creatures on our earth.

75. HUMPBACK WHALES
HUMPBACK whales. Like all whales and dolphins, humpback whales belong to the order cetacea. An order is the fourth level used in biological classification.
http://www.earthtrust.org/wlcurric/whales.html
HUMPBACK WHALES I. BIOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY
Although their general shape resembles that of a fish, humpback whales are mammals just like humans, and exhibit a number of traits common to all mammals including the following:
  • they are warm blooded
  • they breathe air
  • they bear live young and nurse them with milk

Like all whales and dolphins, humpback whales belong to the order cetacea . An order is the fourth level used in biological classification. Biological classification is the method by which all living organisms are scientifically named and classified. The science of biological classification is called taxonomy . There are seven levels of biological classification, the remaining levels are listed below: Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species- contains those organisms most closely related; the basic unit of taxonomy
Living organisms are classified largely on the degree of evolutionary relatedness which they share, as well as their anatomical and biochemical similarities. The degree of evolutionary relatedness increases as you progress down the list; members of the same kingdom are not necessarily as closely related as members of the same species. A species possesses those organisms which are the most closely related and is considered the basic unit of taxonomy. Every living organism is given a species name and a genus to which it belongs. Naming organisms by genus and species is universally employed throughout biology and allows scientists to communicate effectively about specific organisms. Assigning each organism a genus and species name is referred to as

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.

The Bay of Fundy Whales I n Micmac lore, it was a giant whale, who angered the god Glooscap and created such a splash with his mighty tail, that the water sloshes back and forth to this day.
In actuality, the story of the tremendous Bay of Fundy tides is no less the stuff of legends.
Some 350 million years ago, it was not Glooscap, but rather the sun and moon who conspired to create this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon. That is, some 100 million years before the first dinosaurs roamed the earth, this pulsing arm of the North Atlantic was formed, its unique shape amplifying the tides to staggering proportions.
New Brunswick's Bay of Fundy is an eco-attraction on par with such marvels as the Great Barrier Reef of Australia and the Rain Forest of Brazil. It's mighty tides are the greatest on earth. Every day, twice daily, one hundred billion tons of seawater roll in and out of the Bay. At low tide, you can literally walk on the ocean floor. At high tide, just six hours later, your footprints will be covered by the ocean. In some places, the vertical difference between high and low tide is 14 meters- roughly the same height as a four storey building!
Whales in the Bay Finback Whales The Bay of Fundy giant and the second largest in the world. It can grow to 24 meters (80 feet) and weight 73 tonnes (80 tons). Finbacks have a tall "blow" and are evenly distributed throughout the mouth of the bay.
