I’m a high school junior and I’m looking for internships or volunteer opportunities to work in the field with dolphins or small whales. Do you guys know any places? (I’m not limited to the US) I also want to do an independent research project on pilot whales but I don’t know what I want to document about them and study.
The title. Or what is a recent discovery related to whales that you would like to share with the forum community?
The most exciting for my is the fact that they can communicate in such an incredible way.
I’ve noticed an increase in postings of whales and dolphins riding the surf alongside human surfers. Have cetaceans been learning to surf by observing people, or is this an age-old behavior that the internet has discovered?
I am a cartoonist for the New Yorker, and this is a cartoon I had published a few years ago. Hope you enjoy.
I found a skull of some form of whale and what appears to be a rib bone next to it any ideas. Was found on the beach of Hunstanton in Norfolk UK
Okay, hear me out. What if instead of the days of the week being named after God's, they were named after whales?!
What do you think they would/should be called?
