We came upon the fine team from IFAW at First Encounter Beach doing a necropsy on a deceased pilot whale. It’s alway sad to see but encouraging that we are learning more with each passing—hopefully this will help in the future. #capecod #firstencounterbeach #eastham #ifaw #marinemammal #marinemammalrescue #pilotwhale https://www.instagram.com/p/CovNkGbPuO7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm back. A test to see if it works out/Kim #Repost @teamwatsonsanfrancisco —— Posted @withregram • @seashepherduk The relentless hunt of The Long Finned Pilot Whale ⚠️ In the Faroe Islands, annual drive hunts known as "grindadráp" result in mass slaughter. We receive countless responses to these shocking images questioning what could possibly justify this murder? As a food source? Consuming Pilot whales is not only inexcusably immoral but severely harmful. As discussed at The North Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission's 2022 Meeting, most Cetaceans contain toxic levels of Mercury and are scientifically not recommended for human consumption. So why? Why would anyone continue such a barbaric event ? The Faroese state they must “maintain the killing of hundreds of pilot whales each year to maintain community cohesion” Maintain a merciless tradition or an entire species population? We need you to take action and stand united against this continuous atrocity ✊ We will not stop until we end this mindless slaughter.

Mediterranean Sea | September 22, 2017 A Pilot Whale glides through the surface of the sea as storm clouds cover the setting sun. This was one of a rare pod of close to 20 whales moving in one direction. Mostly all calves and females with one large male in the lead. #onassignment #whale #pilotwhale #mediterraneansea #france #underwaterphotography

Unter Walen

Das Boot mit seinen 3 Stockwerken zischt mit ordentlich Tempo über den Nordatlantik und hüpft nur so über die Wellen - so ein Geschaukel hatten wir in unseren 10 Tagen auf hoher See nicht. Dementsprechend laufen die Mitglieder der Crew gerüstet mit Desinfektionsspray, Lappen und Kotztüte umher und erkundigen sich nach dem Wohlbefinden der Fahrgäste.

Dann nach etwa einer halben Stunde Fahrt verringert der Kapitän das Tempo und die Crew des Whale watching Boots verteilt sich an Deck, um nach Walen Ausschau zu halten.

Auf einmal nimmt der "Whalewatcher" direkt neben mir sein Funkgerät zur Hand, spricht etwas unverständliches hinein und deutet mit dem Arm nach vorne rechts.

Keine Minute später sind wir mitten in einer Gruppe von Pilotwalen.

Über eine Stunde tuckert das Boot neben und zwischen der Gruppe von Walen entlang. Teilweise sind sie so dicht neben dem Boot, dass man ihren Atem riechen kann - es riecht nach Meer und nach Algen.

Ein unglaublich faszinierendes und wunderschönes Erlebnis, diesen wilden Tieren so nah zu sein und sie beim Spielen zu beobachten.

Pilot whales 🐳 are cetaceans with the highest number of neurocortical neurons. The neocortex is a part of the mammalian brain that is responsible for cognition, spatial reasoning and language. . The neocortex often shows a high degree of folding that increases the surface area in which neurons can crosstalk. . As its name implies, the neocortex is the newest part of the cerebral cortex (bottom right) that has evolved. Thus, its appearance represents the pinnacle of brain 🧠 evolution in all animals on Earth. .

Meet Bubbles the pilot whale. Original star of Marineland of the Pacific until orcas became everyone's whale of choice and suddenly pilot whales were out of fashion. Distraught, Bubbles turned to the bottle and eventually lost his job as a pilot whale and had to slum it as a sea captain whale. Hear the sad tale of Bubbles and Marineland and other local amusement parks in our latest episode "Themes, Schemes and Oceanside Dreams."
