Whale Gifts

Whale is the common name for various marine mammals of the order Cetacea. The term whale is sometimes used to refer to all cetaceans, but more often it excludes dolphins and porpoises, which are also cetaceans but belong to the suborder Odontoceti. This suborder also includes the sperm whale, killer whale, pilot whale, and beluga whale. The suborder Mysticeti (baleen whales), are filter feeders that feed on small organisms caught by straining seawater through a comblike structure found in the mouth called baleen. This suborder includes the blue whale, the humpback whale the bowhead whale and the minke whales. All Cetacea have forelimbs modified as fins, a tail with horizontal flukes, and nasal openings on top of the head.


Whale Communication

Whales are very unique creatures and they are filled with a great amount of intellegence. Why anyone would want to harm one of these animals really does rack our minds. Sometimes, we believe that these creatures are more intelligent than humans. Actually, they have some outstanding abilities, such as the communication of whales. Whales communicate through a technique known as echolocation. Through echolocation, they will be able to determine the size, distance, shape, speed and distance of an object that is under the water.

Whales communication through what is known as echolocation. When they make their noise that they make, they will be able to measure the shape, distance, speed and location of an object that is under the water.

Through echolocation, the sound will be bouncing off of an object that is under the water. Would you believe us if we told you that a whale in New Foundland is able to hear a whale that is in Bermuda? Don't you think that is something that is amazing?

As you know, there is a lot of pollution in the waterways. There is also activity from ocean liners, cruise ships, submarines and tankers that are all contributing to a problem with the whales and that involves communication.

Due to the noise pollution under the water, it is hard for these animals to communicate. In turns, this causes them to abandon their natural habitat and go off their course.

As you may already know, there has been a lot of pollution in the water these creatures swim in. There are submarines, ships and many others that are constantly polluting the water with sound. This is causing a lot of problems for the whale as they are no longer able to hear as far as they could. This also causes them to go from the nature habitate they live in and get off course. Many do not realize what they are doing to these whales and some do not care. If we continue doing what we do, then the communication of whales will get harder and harder.
