Summary: Whale Spotting In Narragansett Bay

Trego works at the Conservation Ecology Lab at San Diego State University in California. She reported her team’s early findings on December 14, at the Society for Marine Mammalogy meeting in San Francisco.

Scientists working with the Nautilus Exploration Program (http://www.oceanexplorationtrust.org/#!nautilus-exploration-program/cdx2) in the Gulf of Mexico had an exciting adventure when they had a giant sperm whale encounter this week that brought excitement to the crew, as well as nature fans all over the world when the video went viral on Facebook and social media venues.

Even though they may be small-scale , they are the most vocal whale you can find. Their vocalization patterns include clicks, whistles, chirps and bleats. These beautiful creatures are known to inhabit the arctic and subarctic waters of Russia or Alaska. Even though Belugas are known for their white color, they are actually born grey. The transformation to the white color they are known for can take years.

A pod of whales swam past us and we followed it for a while before returning

How can one write a compelling argument without ethos, pathos, and logos? That is right you can not! Nathan Wuertenberg, an author for The Washington Post, argues in the article “ Gun Rights are About Keeping White Men on Top” that gun laws had always been made to benefit white men instead of everyone. Wuertenberg uses multiple examples from the Civil Rights Movement, slavery, and school shootings to argue that in all those different situations gun laws have been put in place to benefit white men. Wuertenberg concludes that we can not blame anyone for what this country has turned to because we are the ones that are letting this happen.

The study was first embarked in an attempt to assess what could be done to help the depleting population of the wester Pacific whale. However, it later turned up evidence that may imply that western Pacific whales may just be California gray whales with different swimming patterns.

Plato, James Madison, and John Mills are all supporters of the idea that opinion must be discussed in public debate. In my own reason-based thought this idea that through silence ignorance grows louder is my own general understanding.

In 1961 the first wild Orca whale was captured, a female who was sick and disoriented from California in Newport Harbor. Upon being introduced to her new home in Vancouver, a small tank, she smashed her rostrum (nose) into the tank’s wall and died. It wasn 't until three years later, 1964, when the next wild Orca was

“… building a tank the size of Rhode Island wouldn’t be large enough for a six-ton male killer whale such as Tilikum, an animal capable of swimming 100 miles a day,” states an anonymous whale expert. Whales have been in captivity since 1861 when P.T. Barnum displayed the first live whale that was captured in Canada. However, Barnum had no idea how to care for the mammal and it died after only a week in captivity. (Animal Legal and Historical Center, 2014) Being up close with killer whales could give us some clues about how they interact with each other, including physical behavior, their dialect, and how their pods work together as a family unit. However, what we are finding is that whales who belong in the wild are suffering in

Whales as animals are not easy to track because they move to fast and they live far from the land. Also when they move it is impossible to find any signs of their presence. For many biologist studying whales is challenging and they have tried many complex techniques but without results. Studying these animals with Snotbot sometimes it is inefficient and too expensive.

There is no doubt that humans have always been intrigued with the majestic beauty of the large giants found in all of the world’s oceans. Whales and people have had a long history together, marked by many turns of events.

By examining, they are too big, they don't get the right care/the whales hurt each other,

The story of Whale Rider takes place in a Maori village in New Zealand. The main character is a 12 year old girl name Paikea “Pai” Apirana and her ambition to become the next Chief of her village. Along with following on Pai’s story, the movie showed a great number of local Maori religion and culture. Some of the things I will explore is the Maori religion, gender roles, and a personal reflection on what was learned through the movie.

The origin of modern day whales, a mystery that has puzzled paleontologists for years, may have just been solved with the discovery of an ankle bone. This discovery might sound simple and unimportant, but the bones of these ancient animals hold many unanswered questions and provide solid proof of origin and behavior. The relationship between whales and other animals has proven to be difficult because whales are warm-blooded, like humans, yet they live in the sea. The fact that they are warm-blooded suggests that they are related to some type of land animal. However, the questions of exactly which animal, and how whales evolved from land to water, have remained unanswered until now.

As Walt Whitman wrote his multiple editions of Leaves of Grass, each edition always had something new, because he would take his experiences and reflect them into his poetry. For example, the first edition that came out in 1855 wasn’t popular, “Walt Whitman’s literary masterpiece, Leaves of Grass, was first self-published in 1855 with less than glowing reviews.” (Woodworth p. 270). Walt Whitman self-published his first edition due to not being able to find a publisher, the book was beautiful with green leather on the front to give the feeling of “laying down in the grass”. The first edition was mainly focused on nature and the solitude that is found within it. In addition, his involvement in the Civil War appears in the later editions, “When the war broke out, he soon found himself working as a wound dresser for the North. These war experiences became the subject of Drum Taps, a series of poems set during the war.” (Woodworth p. 272). His experiences in the Civil War could be read about in the fourth edition published in 1867. The fourth edition mainly focused on the Civil War and Reconstructionism. Furthermore, his background life before publishing has an influence on his writing, “The life familiar to him is the picturesque, free, unconventional life of the people—not the pale, monotonous, artificial life of literary student, aristocrat, or plutocrat. He enters profoundly into all their difficulties, enjoyments, sorrows, and eager aspirations.” (Noel “A Study of Walt
