Whalers and Conservation Lots More Information Shop or Compare Prices Special Thanks Our thanks to the folks at Ocean Alliance and Sea World Orlando for the tremendous photos they provided for this article. In the world's great whale tales, including Herman Melville's "Moby Dick," the storytellers are preoccupied with one particular whale attribute: awesome size. Many whale species are staggeringly enormous. The blue whale, for example, can grow to 100 feet (30 m) long, about the height of a 10-story building, and can weigh as much as 150 tons (300,000 lb or 136077.7 kg). Its heart alone is the size of a small car , and there's enough room on its tongue for 50 people. It is the largest known animal in Earth's history.

The Origin Of Whales And The Power Of Independent Evidence
The Origin of whales and the Power of Independent Evidence by Raymond Sutera Copyright © 2001 posted August 10, 2001 This article originally appeared in
http://www.talkorigins.org/features/whales/

Extractions: ow do you convince a creationist that a fossil is a transitional fossil? Give up? It is a trick question. You cannot do it. There is no convincing someone who has his mind made up already. But sometimes, it is even worse. Sometimes, when you point out a fossil that falls into the middle of a gap and is a superb morphological and chronological intermediate, you are met with the response: "Well, now you have two gaps where you only had one before! You are losing ground!" One of the favorite anti-evolutionist challenges to the existence of transitional fossils is the supposed lack of transitional forms in the evolution of the whales. Duane Gish of the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) regularly trots out the "bossie-to-blowhole" transition to ridicule the idea that whales could have evolved from terrestrial, hooved ancestors. There simply are no transitional forms in the fossil record between the marine mammals and their supposed land mammal ancestors . . . It is quite entertaining, starting with cows, pigs, or buffaloes, to attempt to visualize what the intermediates may have looked life. Starting with a cow, one could even imagine one line of descent which prematurely became extinct, due to what might be called an udder failure (Gish 1985: 78-9).
Whales At Manly Beach
In recent years there have been regular sightings of whales at Manly, usually Humpbacks and even some Southern Rights. links to whales and Dolphins.

Extractions: in Manly Alex displays his tail In August this year Alex, a rare Southern Right whale, made the harbour waters around Manly his home for a couple of weeks. Alex spent his days cruising between North Harbour and Balmoral in Middle Harbour. He seemed to particularly like the waters off Dobroyd Head right in the Manly Ferry lane. Thousands of Sydney siders flocked to the headlands to see him and Alex didn't disappoint them. The longer Alex stayed the more it seemed he knew just what people wanted to see. He frequently put on acrobatic displays of tail waving and belly flopping. The National Parks rangers in their inflatable Zodiacs reported that Alex would sometimes come up beind them and playfully nudge them along. coming up for a breath Alex shows off for the ferry One day he charged up out of the waters of North Harbour just metres away from Basil Evans who was rowing his tiny dingy to his yacht. A very shaken Mr Evans quickly made for shore. There is a strong possibility that Alex was the calf that was born in the waters off Sydney in 1994. This calf was given the name Dennis at the time. If this is the case then there is a good chance that Alex may become a regular visitor to Sydney Harbour as Southern Rights often have a loyalty to the place of their birth.

Types Of Whales
TYPES OF whales. It is a unit developed to enable students to determine the differences of whales and to group them with similar characteristics.

Extractions: http://edtech.sandi.net/triton/projects/dailard/whales/whales.html Designed by Charlotte Adams Introduction Content Areas Standards ... Conclusion Types of Whales was developed as part of the San Diego Unified School District's Triton Project , a federally funded Technology Innovation Challenge Grant It is a unit developed to enable students to determine the differences of whales and to group them with similar characteristics. The lessons are to be used with first graders at the beginning of the school year. They will be able to identify different whales and that they are mammals, and classify them into two groups, baleen and toothed whales. This lesson is part of the Science Unit but will also use language arts, mathematics and social studies. The lesson can also be used with kindergarten students during the second semester of the school year. Science Standards Addressed Recognize the ways of classifying animals. Observe and describe living things. Demonstrate an understanding that living things have describable characteristics which distinguish them from nonliving and other living things.

Animal Profiles Whale
whales are the giants of the sea. Despite being huge animals, whales are not easy to spot because they glide silently along, creating hardly a ripple.
http://www.panda.org/news_facts/education/virtual_wildlife/animal_profiles/whale

Extractions: Whales are the giants of the sea. If you are ever lucky enough to see a great whale swimming in the ocean, you will never forget it! Despite being huge animals, whales are not easy to spot because they glide silently along, creating hardly a ripple. They only give themselves away when they come up to breathe and send up gigantic spouts of air and water from their blowholes. Whales are divided into two groups. The baleen or whalebone whales have no teeth, only a flexible horny substance called baleen, which looks like a sieve or strainer, suspended from the upper jaw. The baleen group of whales has 10 species, including most of the enormous whales. The other group is the toothed whales which have teeth. This group has 66 species and includes sperm whales, killer whales, dolphins and porpoises. The largest of the baleen whales, the Blue Whale, may reach more than 30m long and weigh as much as 130 tonnes. That's as much as the combined weight of 30 average-sized elephants! Toothed whales are smaller but vary in size, from 1.3m long dolphins to the 18 m Sperm Whale that weighs almost 70 tonnes.

Facts About Beluga Whales
Basic facts and statistics about Beluga whales.
http://scnc.hps.k12.mi.us/~hwms/encyclopedia/content/Beluga.htm

Extractions: 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.
