Orcas have been stuck in captivity since the mid-1900s. They were first captured from their ocean environment and moved to tanks that were small and modified for their conditions. John Hargrove a former SeaWorld trainer said, “...I was thrilled to be apart of the orcas’ lives for so long, I finally came to the realization that if I had to live their lives, it would be hell. Captivity is always captivity, no matter how gentle the jailer”(9). That is why, regardless of their ultimate fate, orcas should never, under any circumstance be bred, raised, or kept in captivity.…
Its skin is dark to light grey that fades to white on its belly, with a slightly hooked dorsal fin which is settled midway along the body. It has a short rostrum containing 18–26 cone-shaped teeth, and a noticeable forehead that contains oily fats. It is thought that the forehead helps to concentrate and produce the high-frequency whistles, clicks and pulses that is used by the dolphin to find its food. The forehead also features the dolphin’s blowhole. The dolphin can grow up to 4 m in length and weigh up to 650 kg, but those in Australia are usually smaller, about 2.6 m long and 120…
Some species of baleen whales have limited distribution. For example: Southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) are found only in the southern hemisphere; northern right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) are found only in the northern hemisphere. Bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) inhabit the waters around the Arctic ice edges that melt and reform seasonally. Some populations of baleen whale species are resident to restricted areas. A population of fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) is found year-round in the Gulf of California.…

To begin with, the bottlenose dolphin possesses its name for several reasons. First, ‘bottlenose’ is developed from this species’ anatomy, for its snout truly is shaped like a bottle, though this is not its real nose.

Killer whales are getting endangered fast due to global warming. Hudson bay in canada is a frozen bay and 2 adult orcas and 9 youths got stuck in a whole in the ice due to climate change. Antarctic ice will cause a decrease in the killer whale habitats, there will be less food for the killer whale. People still don't known if the killer whales will be able to adapt to other types of living. If we stop cities from making pollution the temperature will lower and the ice will not melt so the killer whales will be safer.…
Stunning Spinners Spinner dolphins, which are mammals, are defined by a plethora of remarkable facts, and face an abundance of dangers. In addition, scientists have developed a fascinating method of taking samples of these dolphins. Out in the open ocean, spinner dolphins eat fish and squid, who live with them in tropical waters worldwide. Spinner dolphins can grow to be 1.8-2.1 meters or 6-7 feet long, and they weigh 55-75 kilograms or 121-165 pounds. Although a spinner dolphin’s life span is 35 years, not many dolphins live past childhood. Constantly puzzling scientists seems to be one of these dolphins’ many talents, for when attacked by sharks they refuse to retaliate in the slightest bit; they would rather become dinner.…
