https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/sep/13/killer-whales-launch-orchestrated-attacks-on-sailing-boats So, this is it. That's how the end times start. Good luck everyone. :boxedin: Ok, seriously. Must be pretty scary being on a boat and getting attacked by a group of Orcas, for...

So these three guys were swimming in Puget Sound, minding their own business, and this lady calls the cops on them just because they're whales. https://twitter.com/_SJPeace_/status/1049431085405360128

The rare Beluga whale which found itself in the Thames is still frolicking about at Gravesend. It seems concerning that after all this time, it hasn't made its way back to the sea. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-kent-45786708/thames-beluga-whale-monitored-with-specialist-equipment...

It appears we have dangerous numbers of Southern Right Whales.... :D;)

In another thread, the following comment was made: I would like to know more about the evidence that contributed to this opinion. This is not intended to put Megalodon on the spot, but rather to improve my own ignorance. There are more than enough emotional appeals to save the whales; I...

Experienced trainer slipped, killed by whale attack at SeaWorld Orlando

Looks like Shamu is pissed. God save us.

this picture illustrates what was seen cryptozoologists have long claimed that this event shows a sperm whale in battle with a giant squid except that giant squid are not known in the south Atlantic where this encounter took place off Cape Roque north east Brazil on January 8th, 1875. But...

In another thread Baby Nemesis links to the article “Insufficient Evidence at Hand for Darwinism” by this apparent advocate of ID, Stephen A. Batzer, Ph.D., P.E., who does not seem to know an awful lot about evolution and biology. Since he might be on his way to creationist fame – other websites...

Damn, two more gaps in the fossil record... this evolution thing just keeps getting more and more problems that it can't seem to solve.

Awesome Link WOW! :jaw-dropp What a story! Now, do you think that dolphins and whales have some inherit way to communicate, or is this like a dog saving people in a fire...? Are Mammels naturally altruistic?

I've commented before on the dubious (to me, anyway...) practice of allowing Tribal people to hunt endangered species as a part of their culture or heritage. However, this particular incident goes a bit beyond tradition; seems the lads decided a proper weapon for whaling would be a .50 machine...

I'm stunned that this suggests that humans aren't even the first species on earth to evolve complex cognition. It seems like further proof that intelligence isn't limited to a unique unrepeatable hominid experience but it's emergence is inexorable wherever there's an active biosphere, so all the...

Simple question.....what's wrong with eating whales? provided that 1) You're not a vegetarian 2) the whale species isn't endangered then i can't see what the big deal is. Why is there so much international pressure on the issue? Is it because they're hunted rather than reared for...

On the lemming-suicide topic in the most recent commentary... I've wondered about the connection between so-called lemming suicide, with squirrel migrations in North America, which were a well-reported phenomenon. For example, scroll down here http://www.blackmouthcur.com/Gray%20Squirrels.htm...

Whale explodes on city street. A picture's worth a thousand words...or in this case, a thousand pounds of intestine on your scooter.
