Whales are majestic creatures, famed for their high intelligence and attractive singing. For centuries, humans have exploited whales for oil and meat. Due to this hunting, whales are close to extinction and the worldwide community has banned whale fishing. However, Japan defies the ban on whale fishing.
One country in specific that has been engaging in this inhumane and immoral project against nature is Japan. Large whale fishing vessels have been dispatched around the oceans of Japan, primarily in the western Pacific Ocean, to hunt down innocent whales and collect their meat and other parts to be utilized for oil, fertilizer, perfume, shampoo, soap, gelatin, margarine and additional items. Regardless of the uses it can easily bring, these living creatures really should not have to pay their lives just for this senseless purpose.
Ocean Shepherd is an business that expresses Japan is in violation of the IWC rules on all commercial whaling. They point out that the Japanese public does not support commercial whale hunting, however all the major political parties do. Whale meat supposedly caught for “investigation reasons” ends up in the popular Tsukiji fish market, Marine Shepherd points out. They investigate this embezzlement of whale meat on a routine basis and try to prevent whaling in the high seas as it is happening.
Ocean Shepherd has boats and companies and go out to intervene throughout whale hunts. This is a dangerous and life-threatening undertaking for Marine Shepherd’s companies, but they go on to go to conserve the whales from slaughter. As recently as 2010, three Sea Shepherd ships intervened
against illegal whaling activities and one boat was purposely rammed and sunk by the Japanese. When the captain attempted to serve an invoice upon the Eastern for his sunken boat, he was taken to a Japanese prison. The Ocean Shepherd’s remaining companies were not deterred and followed the Japanese fleets for 3 weeks, and not one solitary whale was eradicated throughout that time.
The illegal whale hunts have actually not stopped. More desires to be done to get rid of whaling before the animals is absolutely lessened. Sea Shepherd is dedicated to this fight. Visit Sea Shepherd to study more.
I take it male and female humpback whales have the same sized spouts? or do they differ in size because the male is smaller?
The source http://www.archive.org/stream/whales620slij/whales620slij_djvu.txt reports: “The height of the blow is probably the least reliable pointer, not only because a great deal of experience is needed to judge it accurately, but also because it depends largely on the size of the individual whale. Adult Greenland and Biscayan Whales have blows from 10-13 feet high, and the figures for other whales are: Grey, 10 feet; Blue, 20 feet; Fin, 13-20 feet; Sei, 6-8 feet; Humpback, 6 feet; Little Piked Whale, 3 feet; Sperm Whale, 16-25 feet; Bottlenose Whale and Beluga, 3 feet.” The average length of an adult humpback whale is 12.9 m (42ft) males and 13.7 m (45ft) females, the maximum size 18m (59ft), so the difference of 0,8 m should not effect a significant difference in height of blow. http://www.coolantarctica.com/Antarctica%20fact%20file/wildlife/whales/humpback_whale.htm

all deer species are my favourite especially the fallow deer
I tie between bears and wolves. What determines why I like an animal is it’s beauty and power. A white wolf is a awe inspiring sight, as well for bears. I like wolves because they are so agile and quick. I like bears because of their independence, where as wolves have to remain in packs to survive. Plus if bears weren’t so violent they’d be the coolest pet.
CATS
Well coincidentally same. Well, gud Question to start a talk
I like all animals except the creepy animals.but I love the Bengal tigers.They are the most heaviest of cat family.
Why do Humpback Whales travel from North to South every year?
They travel south to have their calves in warm water and then travel north to gain access to richer feeding grounds in cold seas.
When humpback whales form (rare) lifelong pods how many members are in the group and are they males or females I read that they do it sometimes.
Usually they are both male and females in the pods. The numbers can vary from just three to many.
i realy don’t no?

Are humpback whales taught their ‘songs’ by other humpbacks or do they know them instinctively? I can’t seem to find an answer to this anywhere. I would assume that the songs are simply known instinctively, but after reading up on the complexity of them (the syntax and diversity, among other complex features) I couldn’t help but wonder if they are picked up by young humpbacks in a way similar to humans and our languages.
they can learn from other whales to an extent, but mostly they learn from listening to CDs
I’m pretty sure the songs are learned from other whales. I don’t thing the specificity involved is the kind of thing that would be instinctive. What would be instinctive would be the motivation to sing about something
