馃悑Daily Cetacean Fact:馃悑
Minke Whale: The common minke whale is the smallest baleen whale in North American waters. The scientific names for minke whales translate to: "winged whale," (Balaenoptera) "sharp snout" (acutorostrata). They received their common name from a Norwegian novice whaling spotter named Meincke, who supposedly mistook a minke whale for a blue whale.

When you look into my eye human, what do you see?
Do you see a friendly curious gentle creature exploring her environment? Something intelligent and alive?
Do you see an anxious and nervous animal, not for what you have done, but for others of your kind? Wary what you might do?
Do you see a soul? Do you see beauty in her eye? A shared moment as we look to each other?
Do you see nothing? It is just an animal - unfeeling, unthinking. Is this moment just one for you?
Do you see simply resources? A part of the natural world granted to you by your god to exploit. Something for which no consideration is necessary?
Do you see yourself reflected in my eye?
What do you see human?

Everyone knows and loves the sweet songs of the humpback whale, but not many have heard the songs of other baleen whales. I wanted to share three of my favourites today:
First up we've got the bowhead whale: The jazz-like sounds of bowhead whales (youtube.com) (I don't know if jazz-like is an entirely accurate descriptor. One of these whales sounds like a heavy piece of metal getting dragged across a concrete floor).
Next up, the understated song of the right whale: Right Whale Underwater Sounds (youtube.com). While they lack the vocal range of a humpback, the right whale vocalizations have a similar peaceful, melodic sound to them.
Finally, scientists were perplexed for years by a number of strange underwater noises sounding remarkably like waterfowl. Known as the "bio-duck", this phenomenon was found to be caused by Antarctic minke whales: Balaenoptera bonaerensis "bio duck" (youtube.com). Minkes make a range of interesting noises including pops, trills, and a boinging noise like a spring!

WIP - sneak peak at the feature item for Phase 2 of the Coral Kingdom. I鈥檓 still tinkering with the details and orientation of the skeletal segments (we鈥檒l see if I can get the rib cage flipped to sync with the rest of it in the final build).
The skull is based on a baleen whale, although this skeleton is too small to be a big one, so it鈥檚 inspired by the smaller minke whale instead. When I build the whale fall into the scene it will have lots of animals and plants reaping the benefits of the whale鈥檚 decomposition.
When I finish the next phase I鈥檒l post the final version!

Whale Tail
It tail! My tail. This is just the base. I will have to make a duct tape dummy of my lower legs and feet rather than trying to model them myself. I think I am going to try to produce a negative in three d print and from there cast it in silicone.

I went whale watching for the first time this season and saw about 50 Atlantic white sides dolphins, 70 seals, 1 fin whale, 5 minke whales, and 7 humpback whales.
I have seen a fin whale once before but it was pretty far and only for a second. So it was very cool to be able to see this one so well. Today I also learned fin whales are one of the only asymmetrical vertebrate species. "Fin whales have distinctive coloration鈥攂lack or dark brownish-gray on the back and sides and white on the underside. Head coloring is asymmetrical鈥攄ark on the left side of the lower jaw, white on the right-side lower jaw, and the reverse on the tongue."
So all in all it was a really fun day.

Amazing work to whoever wrote that headline. Absolute banger.
And the whale! Like that whale is just chilling in midair above the waves, not scare in the world like Wile E. Coyote before he notices he鈥檚 gone over a cliff
this is my new favorite headline/image combo EVER
