Hey everyone! I recently learned abt pilot whales and remembered the false killer whales. They look literally identical!! How can i tell one from another?

I am in school studying marine biology. With that said I will buy books when i bring my budget up but for the most part I am saving up for something at the moment so not able to buy books about whales.

With that said what sites are there or YouTube videos/channels that would help me to identify and learn facts about whales?

So I won’t lie I am too lazy to add all the context but will add some. Sophomore in College in the U.S and hoping to at minimum take my masters in South Korea and hopefully if I like the environment and cultural aspect I will live and pursue a career there.

With that said I am curious as to how South Korea handles whale research and if whale research is as “common”. Of course I know it isn’t the everyday field of research but when compared to other places I just hope it’s not too far “behind”. For example, I looked at Japan at one point and I know they have a lot of whale research and issues with whales that needs to be addressed. Is there a field for the same with Korea?

I know Jeju island has a lot of aquatic research and sciences. So would like to know if anybody knows a lot about jeju island but also what other places/cities, and or islands that have a high impact on whale research in Korea.

Thanks for the help

I know that whales are able to communicate to a certain degree. But would we say they have a “language” between them? Any articles or fun reads on the topic?

This is something I have wondered being they were an Apex Predator in their timel

I love whales, because they are wonderful creatures and intriguing. I've noticed that blue whales appear to have a complete different personality to beluga whales. How would you describe each whale species and their personalities? Are the different species aware of the others? ( I know dumb question )
