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

Introduction to the Cetacea Whales and Dolphins The Cetacea are one of the most distinctive and highly specialized orders of mammals flukes arranged horizontally. Modern whales have greatly elongated anterior skull bones, and the nostrils are located on the top of the head, forming the blowhole . The forelimbs are specialized to form flippers, and the hind limbs and pelvis are extremely small and do not normally extend out of the body wall of the animal. Modern whales may be divided into two subgroups: the Odontoceti (toothed whales) and the Mysticeti echolocation , producing sound waves using a complex system of nasal sacs and passages, and using the echoes to navigate. Dolphins and porpoises are examples of odontocetes, as are belugas, narwhals, killer whales, sperm whales, and beaked whales. Baleen whales lack teeth completely as adults (although teeth are present in fetal baleen whales). They feed by straining small marine organisms out of the water using plates of baleen , a hornlike substance that forms filaments that hang down from the roof of the mouth. Blue, right, humpback, minke, gray, and fin whales are well-known examples of baleen whales. Some baleen whales, most famously the humpack whales, are known for the strange and complex songs they produce; their function is not clear, but unlike toothed whales, baleen whales do not use their songs for echolocation. The fossil record of whales is rich, and recent discoveries have shed much light on the origin of the Cetacea.

The Humane Society of the United States 2100 L Street, NW Washington, DC 20037 HSUS Marine Mammals What Are the Issues? Whaling Whaling Corbis For the last several years, the IWC has passed resolutions urging Japan to cease its "scientific" whaling, because it does not in fact comply with the spirit (or even the strict letter) of the ICRW's scientific whaling provision. The IWC found the research to be unnecessary, and that the same ends could be accomplished by non-lethal methods. Both Norway and Japan, as well as other countries that receive fisheries aid from Japan, lobby vigorously at the IWC every year to lift the moratorium, saying several whale stocks have recovered to the point where they can once again be commercially hunted. Yet even as they make this claim, the Scientific Committee of the IWC has determined that even minke whales, considered relatively unaffected by previous decades of rampant whaling, may be far less numerous than originally estimated, especially in the Antarctic. Whales are difficult to count, because they live mostly underwater and they migrate great distances. For this reason alone, they are singularly inappropriate targets of a commercial hunt. Should they be depleted (should quotas be overly optimistic or hunting poorly regulated), by the time managers even notice, it will likely be too late for recovery. This may in fact be the case for blue whales (the largest mammal ever to have lived), right whales, and some stocks of humpback whales, which have yet to show any clear signs of recovery despite decades of protection.

NBC News Web Extra WELLINGTON, New Zealand - Most days, Moko the bottlenosed dolphin swims playfully with humans at a New Zealand beach. But this week, it seems, Moko found his mojo. Witnesses described Wednesday how they saw the dolphin swim up to two stranded whales and guide them to safety. Before Moko arrived, rescue workers had been working for more than an hour to get two pygmy sperm whales, a mother and her calf, back out to sea after they were stranded Monday off Mahia Beach, said Conservation Department worker Malcolm Smith. But Smith said the whales restranded themselves four times on a sandbar slightly out to sea from the beach, about 300 miles northeast of the capital, Wellington. It looked likely they would have to be euthanized to prevent a prolonged death, he said. 'Disorientated' "They kept getting disorientated and stranding again," said Smith, who was among the rescuers. "They obviously couldn't find their way back past (the sandbar) to the sea."
