Extractions: Like all whales and dolphins, humpback whales belong to the order cetacea . An order is the fourth level used in biological classification. Biological classification is the method by which all living organisms are scientifically named and classified. The science of biological classification is called taxonomy . There are seven levels of biological classification, the remaining levels are listed below: Kingdom Living organisms are classified largely on the degree of evolutionary relatedness which they share, as well as their anatomical and biochemical similarities. The degree of evolutionary relatedness increases as you progress down the list; members of the same kingdom are not necessarily as closely related as members of the same species. A species possesses those organisms which are the most closely related and is considered the basic unit of taxonomy. Every living organism is given a species name and a genus to which it belongs. Naming organisms by genus and species is universally employed throughout biology and allows scientists to communicate effectively about specific organisms. Assigning each organism a genus and species name is referred to as
Terrorvision - Welcome To Whales And Dolphins!
An lighter look at Terrorvision which includes an interview, downloads, a drinking game and a guide to Bradford.
http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Plaza/7196/index.html

Extractions: Once subtitled 'the most irrelevant Terrorvision website on the net', I stopped using this phrase when I realised that any site containing copious references to alcohol and rock music can't fail to be anything but totally relevant to the boys from Bradford! But within these virtual pages, you will not find the usual claptrap associated with other, less innovative (but far more frequently visited), band fanzine pages. Oh no. Gone are the individual profiles, no more is the detailed band history, even lyrics, tab (although I heartily commend fellow bassists) and gigographies are strangely absent. The emphasis here is on humour (Bradford style), alcohol, and generally giving fellow fans and nubile newcomers alike some suitably silly stuff to peruse. So stay, put your feet up, have a look around and a nice cup of (Irish) coffee, you may (just) find something interesting enough to waste another twenty minutes' worth of phone/server bill. I promise... THIS IS THE END... MY ONLY FRIEND
Whales At Manly Beach

http://www.ozemail.com.au/~russo/whales/whales.html

Extractions: in Manly Alex displays his tail In August this year Alex, a rare Southern Right whale, made the harbour waters around Manly his home for a couple of weeks. Alex spent his days cruising between North Harbour and Balmoral in Middle Harbour. He seemed to particularly like the waters off Dobroyd Head right in the Manly Ferry lane. Thousands of Sydney siders flocked to the headlands to see him and Alex didn't disappoint them. The longer Alex stayed the more it seemed he knew just what people wanted to see. He frequently put on acrobatic displays of tail waving and belly flopping. The National Parks rangers in their inflatable Zodiacs reported that Alex would sometimes come up beind them and playfully nudge them along. coming up for a breath Alex shows off for the ferry One day he charged up out of the waters of North Harbour just metres away from Basil Evans who was rowing his tiny dingy to his yacht. A very shaken Mr Evans quickly made for shore. There is a strong possibility that Alex was the calf that was born in the waters off Sydney in 1994. This calf was given the name Dennis at the time. If this is the case then there is a good chance that Alex may become a regular visitor to Sydney Harbour as Southern Rights often have a loyalty to the place of their birth.

Stream a cut in RealAudio format while you look aroundmore on music page It Don't Mean a Thing The entire "Family of Saxophones" is featured - the tiny sopranino, the soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, and bass and the rare and monstrous 6'8" contrabass (described by The Los Angeles Times as "...an instrument with the stature of a power forward in the NBA and a pitch that makes a foghorn sound effeminate.") Together they create incredibly innovative music with a rich ensemble sound covering an amazing range of over six octaves. The NUCLEAR WHALES repertoire includes classical, jazz, swing, and a plethora of original works as well as a tribute to the ocean's whales which inspired the Orchestra's name. From Bach, Mozart, and Strauss to Ellington, Gershwin and Sousa, the WHALES leave no musical genre unexplored.

Upon rejoining the International Whaling Commission last year with a reservation against the moratorium on commercial whaling, Iceland vowed that it would not start commercial whaling before 2006. Now, it has broken that promise with the release of a plan to kill hundreds of protected whales for so-called scientific research. Help WDCS in our call for action to prevent further deaths. Over 1000 dolphins are reported to have been washed up dead on the shores of England and France this year, as a result of pelagic (mid-water) trawl fisheries. WDCS is calling on the European Commission to introduce emergency measures to help prevent further deaths.

Extractions: Seabirds and Whales of Louisiana The Louisiana Ornithological Society (LOS) sponsors daylong expeditions starting from Port Fourchon, LA, to search the deep waters off the mouth of the Mississippi River for seabirds, whales, and dolphins. In many ways these have been voyages of discovery; scientific knowledge of the seabirds of the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana is limited and fragmentary. If you want to know more about this, here are links. Seabirds . We've seen over a dozen species of birds not normally found on or near land in Louisiana, including some first records for the state. Whales and dolphins . The Gulf of Mexico isn't dense with mammals, but it hosts a remarkable diversity of cetacean species. Here are some we've seen. Trip lists . What are the chances of seeing Red-billed Tropicbird, Sperm Whale, or some other sought-after species on these trips? Judge for yourself from these listings.

Sea Shepherd's Gray Whale Protecion Campaign is going on now. Our long-range ship Sea Shepherd III and coastal patrol vessel EdwardAbbey are now on site, in opposition the planned whale hunt. Sea Shepherd has organized the local Whale Guardians Network to coordinate the actions necessary to head off the hunt. We need your financial support, your physical presence, or your efforts to spread the word on what is about to happen off the coast ofWashington! The "ceremonial" element of this hunt is being promoted to make the killing more palatable to the public. The real goal of the hunt is to use the "aboriginal" loopholes in the international whaling moratorium togain a foothold for a new era of commercial whale meat trade. Through the recent formation of the World Whaling Council in Port Alberni, British Columbia, Japan is using native groups who feel they have the right to kill whales as front groups in a long-range plan to re-start commercial whaling. At the International Whaling Commission meeting in Dublin in May 1995, Dan Greene, the delegate from the Makah nation, met with representatives of the Norwegian, Icelandic, and Japanese whaling associations, who are whaling over the objections of the IWC and in violation of IWC regulations. The three whaling nations have pledged to support the Makah.

http://new-brunswick.net/new-brunswick/whales/

Extractions: Some 350 million years ago, it was not Glooscap, but rather the sun and moon who conspired to create this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon. That is, some 100 million years before the first dinosaurs roamed the earth, this pulsing arm of the North Atlantic was formed, its unique shape amplifying the tides to staggering proportions. New Brunswick's Bay of Fundy is an eco-attraction on par with such marvels as the Great Barrier Reef of Australia and the Rain Forest of Brazil. It's mighty tides are the greatest on earth. Every day, twice daily, one hundred billion tons of seawater roll in and out of the Bay. At low tide, you can literally walk on the ocean floor. At high tide, just six hours later, your footprints will be covered by the ocean. In some places, the vertical difference between high and low tide is 14 meters- roughly the same height as a four storey building!

http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/whales/species/Spermwhale.shtml

Extractions: The sperm whale is a toothed whale that lives in pods. It has a huge brain that weighs about 20 pounds (9 kg); it is the largest brain of any animal. The sperm whale has a single blowhole that is s-shaped and about 20 inches long. The blowhole is located on the left side of the front if its huge head. The sperm whale has a 4-12 inch thick layer of blubber. Sperm whales produce ambergris, a dark, waxy substance (related to cholesterol) that is produced in the lower intestines, and is sometimes found containing squid beaks. Ambergris may help protect the sperm whale from the stings on the giant squid, its major food. Large lumps of ambergris may be vomited up by the sperm whale. The fictional Moby Dick was a sperm whale.
