Animals? ex animal good
Fascinating video too! Thanks for the link. That whale was about 18 m or in the neighborhood of 60 feet. Many accounts of early whaling for this largest mammal found many around 140 feet long. They became the targets and thus the continuing hunts eliminated the 'large' genes from the gene pool. Sixty feet is now typical for a big one, the last really large one, measuring 90 feet, was harvested many years ago. Now the Japanese continue to harvest Blue Whales and rediculously claim to be studying a new species of smaller Blue Whales in direct opposition to a world-wide moratorium on hunting Blue Whales. Sadly, moratoriums are useless without teeth and politicians continue to be gutless wonders!
Well said my friend.
Gosh! The Japanese whalers make me SO angry. After all the work done world wide to save those creatures they just undermine it all.
Wonderful pic
Very good capture! ... but what happened that this whale is sooooo blue! LOL! Well obviously he/she is dead. Possibly he/she now knows the truth: that SHE is black and possibly this whale was a f...ing racist during his/her whole lifetime! LOL! Sorry! I could not resist to make this joke! I am shure, if there is something, she will forgive me!
Incredible capture!
Outstanding capture !
Superb capture my friend. God bless.
I thinks I'll skip the smell which I can imagine but this is an excellent shot of the skeleton
Very cool capture
Very good capture of the remains of this poor beast!
nice shot... whales are so cool.
Your photo takes me back to about age 10 and the first time my grandmother took me to the New York Museum of Natural History. Very impressive then and now:)
fascinating capture and perfect pov! impressive whale! ;o)
Big! There is a stuffed one inside the Natural History Museum in London.. Very rare now.. Good shot mate! Rob
So sad and yet so interesting loved the video.
An awesome POV to show off the size of the jaw and the length of the whale. A very informative video also. An excellent posting!
