WEB LINKS by Jody Paterson, City Editor M essage to whale-hunt foes: Indians can't live on nobility Everything was so much easier before the Indians slipped out of the box we'd put them in as noble and selfless keepers of the land. It turned out they wanted to feed their families and keep their home towns alive, and that meant making money from trees and fish just like everybody else in B.C. has been doing for a century or so. Now, they want whales. There are 30,000 gray whales in this part of the Pacific Ocean, and the whaling tribes of the Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations want a few of them. Washington state's Makah will hunt for a whale this fall, and local hereditary whaling chief Tom Mexsis Happynook is priming himself and his son for their first whale hunt sometime in the future. Happynook is the head of the World Council of Whalers, a 20-country group put together two years ago to ready people for hunts all over the world. The countries all once hunted whales and at least nine of them still do, but nobody has been doing too much of it since industrial whalers wiped out whole populations 70 or so years ago in the pursuit of oil, baleen for corsets, and ambergris for perfume. Now that whale populations are thriving again, the whalers want some, mostly to eat but maybe to sell into the whale-hungry Japanese market. The World Council of Whalers was formed to begin the public debate. "What we want people to know is that the whalers are still alive and they want to bring food to their table," says Happynook's spouse and fellow council member Kathy.

Members of the order Cetacea which includes dolphins and porpoises, whales are divided into two groups: toothed (Odontoceti) and baleen (Mysticeti). Toothed whales have narrow jaws lined with peg-like teeth which they use to catch fish, squid, and other marine mammals, swallowing them whole. They are smaller than baleen whales and only have one blowhole. The Killer (Orca) whale and the Sperm whale are the only toothed whales found in the Antarctic region. Baleen whales have comblike structures instead of teeth that are used to filter krill and fish from the water. They are larger than toothed whales and have two blowholes. The

dartTag = 'general/home'; All About Whales Whales are by far the largest creatures currently living on earth today, and are among the most massive to have ever existed. Members of the Cetacean order, which also includes the dolphin and the porpoise, whales are among a very unique group of mammals that spend their entire life in the sea. Whales evolved from land dwelling mammals, and are believed to have first entered the water about 50 million years ago. Differing from many other sea creatures, whales are fully warm blooded animals that breathe oxygen in the air through their lungs. Overtime, whales have adapted to their aquatic surroundings, which includes body shape as well as developing a tremendous lung capacity. Many whales can remain under water without coming up for air for as long as 2 hours! Like dolphins and porpoises, whales breathe through a blowhole, which is located on the top of the head so that the whale can breathe while continuing to keep the rest of its body fully submerged. The Blue whale is the largest of the whales, as well as the largest animal ever known to have existed on earth, measuring in at up to a whopping 94 feet long with a staggering weight of 180 tons! There are currently more than 40 discovered whale species. Most whales are either classified as baleen whales or toothed whales. Baleen whales, which include the blue whale, the humpback whale and the gray whale among others, are characterized by having baleen plates in the front of their mouth instead of teeth for filtering their food from the water. Toothed whales, like the sperm whale, the beluga whale and the beaked whale, have teeth and usually feed on fish and other smaller sea creatures.

31. Why Do I Support The Whaling? Article discussing some of the commonly given reasons for not hunting and killing whales. http://luna.pos.to/whale/intro.html

- Why Do I Support the Whaling? - Note: I'm not a native speaker of English and I know the following article requires grammatical correction. Therefore, the article will be modified from time to time. 1. About the argument that whales are special and intelligent Although it is true that Bottlenose Dolphin has a brain as heavy as human's and it's surface has complex folding as human's, no relationship is known between brain weight and intelligence (considering that only a part of the brain is used for intelligence, and that proportion of the part varies species to species, it is unlikely that total brain weight can give useful index of intelligence), and so is folding on brain surface. One fact worth to be noted is that whales/dolphins does echo-location to 'view' their circumstance by reflected sound from objects, with higher quality than what bats does. Because of this complex function they may require relatively larger brain than other animals which does not do it. Anyway, the reason of brain size has not been revealed yet. The study about cetacean intelligence is done only on some species of dolphins, not including large whales, and so far there is no firm evidence that they are as intelligent as human, although some people want to believe it and have tendency to interpret whales/dolphins' behavior in their wishful way. For example, dolphins have a habit of transporting large object afloat on the sea, such as wood, dead shark, etc. And when a drawn person is transported to shore by dolphins, some people believe that dolphins are so gentle and intelligent that it saved the human for good will. However, the study of dolphins' society show that there exists harassment and killing among dolphins species, and cases are reported that a swimmer was suddenly attacked by a dolphin or pushed toward the ocean. It seems that their cute face and characteristics of being easily tamed to humans, caused people to develop view about cetacean in subjective way.

A Whale of A Film A Look at Whales The IMAX Experience The Whale General Characteristics Whale Species Of all the earth's animals, none is more fascinating than the whales, members of the order Cetacea. Although whales spend their lives in the sea, they are warm-blooded mammals. And just like land mammals, whale calves nurse on their mothers' milk. One species of whale, the great Blue whale , is the largest creature that has ever lived. Larger than the largest of ancient dinosaurs, blue whales can grow to be more than 100 feet long and weigh more than 150 tons. Of course, not all whales are as large as the great blue. The Pilot whale, for example, grows to about 28 feet. And those popular members of the whale family, porpoises, range from 3 to 13 feet in length.
