captured animals. What he says is completely false, similar to the false answer that has been given at SeaWorld for decades. Employees at SeaWorld are told that the life expectancy of killer whales in the wild is about 35 years, but the life expectance of their killer whales is much more. This is a lie. Most killer whales in the wild have the same life span as a human,

Since the number of shipwreck discoveries has been increasing over the years, there is a constant disagreement between treasure hunters and archaeologists regarding who has the right to recover artifacts from these underwater sites. This conflict is causing people to consider the positive and negative aspects of both sides of the issue.

In Sir Arthur Grimble's story, “Hunting Octopus in the Gilbert Islands”, he explains in very descriptive detail of how the young Gilbertese boys would hunt and kill octopus. Even I could go out and catch an octopus given his instructions. Grimble also kept me on the edge of my seat reading the part when it was his turn to catch one. Grimble notices two Gilbertese boys playing in the water. He realizes they are hunting! Grimble was very curious on how they would lure the octopus in. The Gilbertese

Whales are highly intelligent creatures and possess many human like qualities such as the ability to teach, learn, cooperate, and grieve. They communicate using echolocation, by which sounds are able to travel for miles as the sound waves propagate in the water (Whale Communication and Vocalizations, 2015). The sounds will echo back to the whale that sends them and this form of communication can travel at a speed of one mile per second. Different species of whales take on various forms of communication

But dolphins, which fill the oceans with blipping and chirping, and whales, which mew and caw in ultramarine jazz - a true rhapsody in blue - are hunted to the edge of silence.” Jay Griffiths, an award winning british writer, wrote an article speaking out about the assault on the riches of nature, in which she speaks of the damage we’ve done to marine life. From the time the first humans evolved, we have utilised whales to sustain ourselves. We used their blubber, meat and bones to survive. Even

In Befreinding Luna the killer whale, a young whale’s, separated from his family, drive to find companionship tragically results in his death when humans are unable to accommodate. What is truly striking about Luna is he is not seeking humans for alimental gain, and certainly not monetary or any other self-serving motives humans often time displays, but friendship for friendship’s sake. It is his unconditional friendship that is the true hallmark of a quality relationship. It is a truly beautiful

wrote what would become one of America's greatest novels, Moby Dick, in 1851. The novel tells the story of a sailor, Ishmael, who joins a whaling ship captained by Captain Ahab, a man who is on the edge of Madness while he hunts for the giant sperm whale who took his leg. Before Herman Melville wrote Moby Dick, he had several occupations and experiences that influence his writing.
