Killer whales bring the hunt onto land
2008-05-07 09:40:00 A six-ton Killer Whale, torpedoes toward the beach, its dorsal fin cutting the Patagonian sea. It launches itself onto the sand in an explosion of water and foam. Before the waters die down, the orca is shaking its immense head from side to side with a Sea Lion pup clamped between his jaws.Then the Killer Whale wriggles into position to catch a wave to carry it back out to sea.This is a rare occurrence, in which a whale seems to defy its instincts by coming onto land, risking death if it becomes stranded on the inhospitable beach.Only seven Killer Whales in the world are known to hunt this way, all of them members of a pod that patrols the coast of Patagonia's Valdes Peninsula at this time of year. It happens almost exclusively in March and April -- early autumn in the southern hemisphere -- when baby sea lions are learning to swim.One of the favorite hunting spots is at Playa Punta Norte, the northern tip of the peninsula, where a deep channel leads up to the sand, passing between...

3 whales sighted underwater by our divers today....
2008-03-26 08:09:00 Man I wish I was leading that dive. I was up on the boat and just as my divers went down a few whales went by. They (the whales, the divers had no idea what was coming) turned themselves around and passed outside of the divers as the divers hit the edge of the reef at "Hoover's" then turned around again and headed directly to the divers. A female and her calf went directly overhead while an escort whale passed about 50 feet outside of Cathy and the group.All were thrilled. 2000 or so dives here and I've yet to see a whale underwater, bummer.Anyway, it was a good day of diving. The whales were definitely the highlights, but Cathy also found a yellow frogfish she's been watching grow over the last month or two... and at the end of our second dive (at an undisclosed location) she came up and said she needed to borrow the camera again. This is what she found..... Despite not being familiar with my camera, and also in a pretty strong surge, she was able to get these shots of a Re...
Why do whales have holes on their heads?
2008-03-25 01:26:00 As you know, whales do not have gills like fish. In fact, because they are mammals, they take in air through nostrils. The nostrils of whales, called “blowholes”, are located on top of their heads. Every once in a while, whales come to the surface of the water and open their blowholes to breathe.
Blame the Whales
2008-03-24 22:12:00 (Artist credit: Jeff Wilkie)Seems to be the mantra of the Japan whalers and their government: "Blame the Whales."For what? They, among other countries like Canada for example, blame marine wildlife for the "diminishing of fish stocks" all over the planet.Uh, what? That's the most ridiculous BS I've ever heard.In The Whale Warriors, this book by Peter Heller that I am reading, there is a lot documented in there about the damage Japan has done to the marine ecosystem. And Japan is not alone in the harm they have done that in many parts of the planet, may well be irreversible. The USA is no exception either. But I digress.Here's an excerpt in the book. Captain Paul Watson of Sea Shepherd was having one of his several conversations with Peter Heller and said:"You know what the Japanese delegate Tadahiko Nakamura said to me at the 1997 IWC meeting in Monaco? He said he didn't care if all the whales died. He said his duty was to his family, his company, his country, and that...

Of Whales And Frosted Penguins
2008-03-19 05:58:00 My Shaman friend, Robert, recently wrote a post about watching a passing whale joyfully leaping out of the water on its way to wherever whales go this time of year. Now this post came at a good time for me seeing as how I was having one of those winter doldrums days. This has been a long, cold, and, at times, very snowy winter.Now Robert lives in Hawaii and he can see the ocean from his home...and it's warm there. I don't know if they even recognize the winter season...maybe they have six months of summer followed by six more months of summer.Up here in the mountains this winter we've had days and days and nights of...WINTER... COLD WIND...and ICE. That's why Robert's description of the whale had such a positive effect. It sounded WARM. Around here I wouldn't be surprised to see a penguin go waddling by wearing snowshoes and long-handled underwear.I think even the "little fellers" have gotten their fill of the weather here.

Dolphin Saves the Whales
2008-03-15 21:20:00 While I’m on the subject of life-saving miracles, the BBC reported this week that it’s not just humans who take an interest in whale conservation. A bottlenose dolphin, known in her local neighbourhood as Moko, is taking it as seriously as any dolphin can. Mr Smith and his team of humans were getting nowhere fast in their attempt to save a pair of beached whales from the north east coast of New Zealand. Moko sped to the rescue just in time (maybe in a waterproof cape), uttered a few carefully chosen instructions to the whales (maybe in a Whalish accent), and they made it safely home in time for tea (or maybe a krill tisane). “I don’t speak whale and I don’t speak dolphin,” Mr Smith told the BBC, “but there was obviously something that went on because the two whales changed their attitude from being quite distressed to following the dolphin quite willingly and directly along the beach and straight out to sea.” He added: “The dolph...

Test-tube Baby Whales? Cow-Whale Hybrids?
2008-03-13 01:00:00 Japan's annual hunt for hundreds of whales under the guise of "scientific research" has long been castigated as a sham.

“Save EAT the Whales” (?)
2008-03-06 16:35:00 It used to be ‘global warming’. Then a few dozen enviro-nazi rallies got stopped by snowstorms. Kinda hard to claim global warming when you’re freezing your buttocks off. Remember how it was vital we ’save the whales’? Well, that’s out now, too.  OSLO -(REUTERS)- Eat a whale and save the planet, a Norwegian pro-whaling lobby said on Monday of a study showing that harpooning the giant mammals is less damaging to the climate than farming livestock. Environmental group Greenpeace dismissed the survey, saying almost every kind of food was more climate friendly than meat. The survey, focused on whale boats’ fuel use, showed that a kilo (2.2 lbs) of whale meat represented just 1.9 kilo (4.2 lbs) of greenhouse gases against 15.8 for beef, 6.4 for pork and 4.6 for chicken. “Basically it turns out that the best thing you can do for the planet is to eat whale meat compared to other types of meat,” said Rune Froevik of the High North All...

Northern Right Whales Head South to Give Birth
2008-03-05 08:12:00 Like many northerners who head south to warmer climates for the winter, many Northern right whales also head south in November and stay into April. Their destination is the only known calving ground for this rare and endangered population-the waters off Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. When they arrive, NOAA scientists are there to greet them, and to take DNA samples.Although they are large animals, finding them in the ocean is not easy. "Like people, they don't all congregate in one spot," says NOAA researcher Dr. Richard Pace of the challenge. "There may be one here, and three others 50 miles away. And you don't know who will be there this year." Pace, and colleagues from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GADNR) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), are primarily focused on locating right whale newborns and adults who have not yet been sampled.To find the whales, the researchers depend heavily on aerial spotting teams. Once close enough ...

Dolphins & Whales in 3D
2008-02-12 19:42:00 (Artist Credit: Bruce Harman)Two-thirds of Japan's citizens claim to support whaling. And yet the whale meat continues to go uneaten. What's up with that?Apparently the whalers are going broke because they can't market their catch and they have to pay back over $37 million in government subsidies that have supported their "scientific research."Something's not right here when a country can claim to have over 60% supporting the culling of whales and yet can't be bothered to support their whalers nor buy and eat the meat.Give it up Japan. You're starting to look even more ridiculous now.IWC (International Whaling Commission) will meet next month in London to discuss the current moratorium on whaling and what kind of an agreement can be reached between the pro and anti whaling nations of the world.Failing that, they'll next try at the next meeting in Chile this June.Excerpt:from the whales' perspective at least, a new deal along these lines might have something to comme...

Flying robot to track whales off Australia
2008-01-29 06:21:00 A flying robot is to join the fight to save the world's whales by taking part in an aerial survey to count humpbacks off Australia, a report said Sunday. The remote-controlled drone will patrol waters off Australia's North Stradbroke Island, taking pictures scientists hope will enable them to count the migrating whales, Sydney's Sun-Herald newspaper said.Scientists hope using the five-metre (16-foot) wingspan drone will result in a more accurate estimate of the animals' numbers and help convince Japan to stop its annual whale hunt."Migrating humpbacks usually travel singly or in pairs, and often you just see their blows before they submerge again," Michael Noad of the University of Queensland told the newspaper."They're spread out on a long migratory path so you have to cover a bit of ocean to find them."The first stage of the experimental project will test how easy it is for researchers to access data and whether images can be viewed in real time.North Stradbroke Island is loc...

Don?t Worry Whales, Hayden Panettiere is Here to Save You!
2008-01-26 00:06:00 I have to say that as much as I write about her on a daily basis, I don't really know that much about Hayden Panettiere's personal life, but the fact that she's dedicating herself to what sounds like a worthy cause makes me like her. Because I'm that easily swayed. Also, she's got some good hair in these pictures and is looking fresh-faced, even without make-up. I guess all that Neutrogena mess she's always talking is true. Anyways, my compadre Jay might be over hearing about her saving the dolphins, but I'm much more of a sap than he is, so I got all doe-eyed when I heard that she was set to lead an anti-whaling rally in Washington. But then again, because of my early exposure to Lisa Frank art as a child, I'm much more susceptible to getting affected by this kind of stuff.

Posted by Irene from onboard the Esperanza Different ways of shooting whales.Canon is the world's number one digital camera company, and a major sponsor of wildlife initiatives, environmental groups, and efforts to save endangered species.The sight outside our portholes strikes me as absurd: the Nisshin Maru, two catcher boats, an Australian surveillance vessel and us on the Esperanza. This is a big remote sea - but right here it looks like rush hour. Imagine the logistics and resources spent on all these ships coming down here, only because the Japanese government refuses to end their hoax science programme in Antarctica. But there are powerful forces in Japan that could influence their government - if only they would speak up!We wrote to Canon headquarters in Japan asking their CEO to speak out against Japan's whaling programme.

Whales beach in NZ
2008-01-24 11:47:00 At least 15 pilot whales died and another 18 were in danger after stranding on an isolated New Zealand beach, authorities said Wednesday.Six whales were initially found stranded Wednesday morning at Farewell Spit on the northwest of the South Island, and three died while the remainder were refloated, said Department of Conservation spokeswoman Trish Grant.A larger pod of up to 30 were found nearby, of which 12 to 15 had died with about as many milling close to shore, Grant said.The surviving whales were being monitored and there was a concern they could also become stuck on the beach."It all depends on which way the whales start to move," Grant said, adding that the whales would be in most danger at low tide.Rough seas and strong winds were hampering attempts to keep a watch on the four to six metre (13 to 19 feet) long whales.Whale strandings have been common in the area and about two years ago 25 pilot whales died after a pod of 129 beached at Farewell Spit.
