Fun with marine mammals

Recommended Posts

That was really cool. It's funny how they say they are playing like dolphins when they really are dolphins. They are just another reason I would love to move to the Pacific Northwest.



The little Pacific White Sided Dolphin( they look a bit like little miniature Orcas) do it all the time... I have seen them do the same thing hundreds of times with them riding the bow waves in front of my boat as well as the stern like the orcas were doing in this video. I was completely surrounded off the North Jetty ( Peacock Spit) when heading out to fish to the north end of Long Beach a few years ago. It seemed like there were a couple hundred of them.

I have seen them do some cool stuff but this was just too cool... I want to meet this POD out on the Pacific some time...:)



That does look pretty cool!

Ironically, I just watched Blackfish last night... amazing what people will do to make a buck.

That sounds like a great experience. It's so magical when human animals can connect with wildlife on their terms and seem to enjoy each other. I hope you have that experience again soon with Orcas.

How fast can those whales swim? Looks like they're hauling.


And they still have enough reserve power to leap into the air.:o

My 27' Chris Craft will do about 35 MPH... and they have no problem hanging... and I see them frequently.

I have had them swim up and spy hop right next to the boat... Its cool to look someone with an eye that big just a few feet away.. almost close enough to reach out and touch.

I have long contended from a lifetime around the ocean and having experienced many different species of cetaceans... that when you look them in the eye.. you know someone... yes someone is in there looking back at you probably just as curious about you as you are of them.

I found this... and I think it says a lot about the potential of both of our species.:)

nah -

its tyoo complicated - we need to kill stuff.



Too may morons do that already with little thought to what the future holds for all the inhabitants of the planet.

It is after all the only one we have and we as a species are not showing a lot of intelligence in the way we are destroying our home and our fellow species who are along for the same ride around the sun..

Epic, I've never seen one in open water so I didn't realize they were that friggin' agile haha.

Too right about them looking way better in the open than in a tank

It is the only one we will have for many generations... Science Fiction does not equal reality... and I personally do not think the Vulcans will be along any day now.... and I am sure as hell not hopping on any supposed spaceships to... where ever the fantasy life of some groups of people run to.:S:S

The physics just does not work as we currently understand it... and the distances are just too great..

Science.... not fantasy rules this world.

Care to explain? The physics of what' does not work, as we
currently understand it?

Physics is a tool. Physics does not claim to explain the 'why' of
things, so much as the how. For example, early in his career, in
his twenties, Albert Einstein voiced the hope that physics would
some day explain 'why' atoms exist. He hoped that a unified
theory of the fundamental forces would in essence provide
insight into 'why' atoms exist as a fundamental archetype in
nature.

If you have some insight into this matter I would enjoy hearing
it.

Oh look.. It escaped from the DBCooper thread...



I see.

Genetic evidence suggests your swimming mammals cannot have
mass-count nouns or mass-grammar, like you do! Their
construction of the world is not like yours. They can very likely
never be anything more than pets to you.

But of course you already know everything about everything.

Do you ever have anything remotely nice to say - or do you just have anger?
