Spectators watch in awe as these animals put on a show with their trainers. Venues, such as Sea World, take claim to the idea that these shows support education, research and conservation of killer whales12. Alternatively, many state that the use of killer whales for our entertainment is not only dangerous to people, but that it violates the five freedoms…

Pacific Killer Whales (Orcinus orca), “ Hanson and Walker points out that cephalopods, specifically squid, may be a larger part of the diet of many transient killer whales in the North Pacific Ocean that was once thought. They identified three particular ecotypes of whales observed in the North Pacific which include residents and offshores that both feed primarily on other smaller fish, and transients which feed on marine mammals. The research involved acquiring four female killer whale…

Many people are horrified at the thought that anyone could even contemplate it. Whales suffer from all types of threats like ship strikes, over fishing of krill, habitat loss and chemical and sound pollution. Many problems have arose from climate change like less krill, food-rich areas moving south. However, the most disturbing threat is whaling. Before whaling began in the 11th century, there were than 250,000 blue whales. Before the worldwide protection in 1967, the species were nearly…

it is no wonder whales can't live in peace and quiet. So it is our job to bring a halt to all the noise and allow these beautiful creatures to live in peace! I think that the underwater noise does in fact, affect the live of whales and many sea creatures. One reason I do believe that these noises are affecting whales is because scientist conducted an experiment over a two year span, and found out that the these sonar testings are interrupting the communication between whales. I know this…

a superpod, which can have over 1,000 members. Dolphins even have personalized whistles, which are like names. Studies show that orca pods even have their own “language” of clicks and whistles which they use to communicate (orcas are not actually whales, they are the largest type of dolphin). Parent dolphins sometimes punish young dolphins for misbehaving, and studies have shown that dolphins are some of the only animals who can actually recognize themselves in a mirror. “Not only that, but they…

Beady eyes, long bodies, and pinchy fingers are some attributes that make humans unapproachable. Unfortunately, they have also managed to selfishly devour a majority of the living species they come in contact with, including lobsters. David Foster Wallace wrote an essay titled, “Consider the Lobster,” to inform the public about the issues that has been happening between the lobster consumers, lobster defenders, and their feelings towards boiling alive the aquatic crustacean. Wallace is obviously…

Orcas in captivity provide the audience with education and conservation of whales in general. School trips come to marine parks they get educated when they leave. Programs and shows at marine parks help serve to educate the audience about marine life, and without this experience, the public may be less interested in marine life. People say that having a few whales in captivity is helping to save the population of whales in the wild they think that the orcas are endangered. Aquarium research…

7. For me, the worst part about being stranded at sea would be the fear of a shark biting through the raft and dragging me to the bottom of the ocean, but that is inescapable and didn’t end up being an issue for Louie, Phil, or Mac. The next thing that comes to mind is having to catch and eat raw sharks. “Phil had weighed about 150 pounds when he had stepped aboard Green Hornet. Louie’s war diary, begun shortly after he arrived in Hawaii, noted that he weighed 155 pounds. He believed that…

Seahorses Did you know that seahorses are the only sea animal where the male gives birth instead of the female. What about the fact that seahorses can eat up to 3,000 shrimp per day. While they are sleeping they wrap their tails around seaweed so they don’t float away. Of course, seahorses are very interesting and one of the most interesting animals in marine life. This paper will explain the birth,food,and adaptations of a seahorse. First of all,this is all about a seahorses…
