Killer whales

habitat and slaughter of marine wildlife, in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species. On April 6 1981, Sea Shepherd was registered as a charitable organisation in Oregon. The first voyage to protect and publicise the illegal hunting of grey whales was launched in May 1981. By mid 1981, the ship documented illegal Soviet whaling activities off the coast of Siberia. On return to the United States, the evidence was turned over to Congress. In early 1982, Sea Shepherd launched their…

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…

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…

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…

Common bottlenose dolphins produce a wide variety of underwater sounds (Lammers & Oswald, 2015) allowing the detection and discrimination of the position of a sound in three-dimensional space (Mooney et al., 2008). These animals are also known for their vocal learning capabilities, with high ability to imitate other animal’s whistles, including man-made whistles or artificial sounds (Lilly, 1965; Janik & Slater, 1997; Tyack, 1997; Janik, 2000; Miksis et al., 2002). This ability comes from the…

Interestingly, we have observed various animals to understand about migration more. We will describe about the Atlantic leatherback turtle. Atlantic leatherback turtle, also known scientifically as Dermochelys coriacea, are the largest of all sea turtles, one of the largest reptiles on Earth, four to eight feet long, and weighs between 500 to 2,000 pounds. In the other…

Mirror self-recognition in the bottlenose dolphin: A case of cognitive convergence What was done? An experiment was performed on two dolphins one was 13 years old male Bottlenose dolphin and other was 17 years old male bottle nose dolphin. This experiment was performed to see if there is any ability in dolphin to use the mirror to inspect any marked part of the body and to prove whether they have self- recognition ability in them or not. How it was done? Two dolphins were kept in the pool for…

Historically, decorative drawings of heraldic dolphins and sea monsters were frequently used to illustrate maps, such as the Carta marina. This practice died away with the advent of modern cartography. Nevertheless, stories of sea monsters and eyewitness accounts which claim to have seen these beasts persist to this day. Such sightings are often cataloged and studied by folklorists and cryptozoologists. Sea serpent reported by Hans Egede, Bishop of Greenland, in 1734. Sea monster accounts are…
