Whales do not have eyelids. They rely on thick oily tears to protect their eyes. Whales hear from little holes behind their eyes. Whales talk to each other by making high pitched sounds like whistles, clicks, squeaks, rattles, and groans.

Killer whales can be found in all oceans but they seem to prefer coastal waters and cooler regions. Killer whales occur in family groups called pods. Three types of pods have been described: “offshore” whales were seen only in outer coast waters. Killer whale pods are based on the lineage of the mother (mothers, daughters, and sons form groups); the whales live and travel with their mothers even after they are full-grown, forming strongly matriarchal whale societies. How many killer whales are there?

Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 Dozens of volunteers help keep more than 50 beached pilot whales moist until high tide comes in. 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.

SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) The Navy has agreed to limit its peacetime use of a new sonar system designed to detect enemy submarines, but which may also harm marine mammals and fish, an environmentalist group said. The Navy and the Natural Resources Defense Council, which sued the military on the issue, reached a legal settlement last week in which the Navy agreed to use the new system only in specific areas along the eastern seaboard of Asia, according to documents provided by the environmental group. The agreement must be approved by a federal magistrate to become permanent, but if implemented the deal would greatly restrict the Navy's original plan for the sonar system, which once was slated to be tested in most of the world's oceans. Navy officials familiar with the case could not immediately be reached for comment.
