Plastinated Dolphin Model

Michelle Berman of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History shows the plastinated dolphin model at the grand opening of the Ty Warner Sea Center, April 2005.

Blue whales, big ships, and communication

blue whales could be seen from all sides of the boat. Besides the ten right in the vicinity, more geyser-like spouts could be seen in the distance. With a creature bigger than the 75 foot catamaran they are easy to spot from a ways off. Up close their breath gives them away as much as their mammoth size.
