The huge front end contains the largest of all animal brains along with a huge sac of oil called spermaceti. Its blow-hole is situated on the tip of its head about the left-hand side. This gives the whale a distinctive 45-degree angled blow. The adult sperm whale's bottom jaw is narrow and lined on each side with 20-25…
If you ask me if I only have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to go aboard, where I will choose to go? I will answer without any hesitation, "the Antarctic." Compare to others places, going to the Antarctic is a feeling of adventure or expedition because it is widely described as the last true wilderness on earth. The Antarctica is the highest, driest, coldest but also the remotest, quietest, purest land on the planet so that I want to feel how cold and pure it is. And the most attracts me is that no…

Some countries around the world are considering to ban the capture of aquatic animals because it’s recognized as a cruel practice from humans to confine and restrict freedom to very smart, and wise creatures. For instance, a congressman from Southern California named Adam Schiff announced on November 6th of 2015 that he…

Summary of the situation My project is about dolphins in captivity. Dolphins are being taken from their homes and families and put into small tanks and pools for people to look at and watch them perform tricks. Dolphins often swim over 100km a day but dolphins that are held in captivity don’t get nearly as much exercise. These dolphins are often bored and are either sitting at the bottom of the pool or floating at the top, but dolphins in the wild don’t usually rest and are very active.. When…
Ken Peters, who mainly worked with the whale Kasatka, was dragged under water by her for long periods of time by his feet. Peters managed to escape alive with only broken feet.

There have also been many deaths related to Seaworld’s orcas; Dawn Brancheau was killed by Tilikum, Seaworld’s main breeder whale, in 2010. Before that, Tilikum…
