Description

Alan Hovhaness's orchestral composition And God Created Great Whales (1970) includes the recorded sounds of humpback and bowhead whales.

By the time the first mammals evolved 200 million years ago, however, dinosaurs were the dominant vertebrates. In the Southern Hemisphere, the length of maturity is 23–24 meters (75–79ft) and 22 meters (72ft) for females and males respectively. In the Northern Hemisphere, males weigh an average 100 metric tons (220,000lb) and females 112 metric tons (247,000lb). A beaked whale for example has a small bulge sitting on top of its skull, whereas a sperm whale's head is filled up mainly with the melon. The word "whale" comes from the Old English hwæl, from Proto-Germanic *hwalaz, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kwal-o-, meaning "large sea fish".It continues to face numerous man-made threats such as ship strikes, pollution, ocean noise and climate change.

However, the genetic distinction is less with the Eastern North Pacific blue whale and there may be gene flow between hemispheres. Pakicetus (pictured above) looked nothing like a whale, but it would have felt at home in the water.The International Whaling Commission (IWC) whaling database reports 88 individuals longer than 30 meters (98ft), including one of 33 meters (108ft), but problems with how the measurements were taken suggest that any longer than 30. DNA tests done in Iceland on a blue whale killed in July 2018 by the Icelandic whaling company Hvalur hf, found that the whale was the offspring of a male fin whale and female blue whale; [19] however, the results are pending independent testing and verification of the samples. Their more recent divergence has resulted in the subspecies having a relatively low genetic diversity, [14] and New Zealand blue whales have an even lower genetic diversity. Some species, such as sperm whales, are particularly well adapted for diving to great depths to catch squid and other favoured prey.
