The song of the humpback whale uses musical building blocks called units and phrases, repeating complex themes. Sung only when rising out of the sea to breathe, researchers believe that only the males sing, possibly in courtship.

Download My Friend Salt Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book is about Salt, the most famous humpback whale that lives and feeds in the waters off Cape Cod. Through the eyes of Salt, readers learn about the biology of humpback whales and the other baleen whales that come to feed in the waters of New England. Salt is a baleen whale that filters over 1 ton of large krill or small baitfish out of the water each day. This book describes how baleen, made from a protein called keratin, grows down from the gum line of the upper jaw and creates a hairy mat inside the whale's mouth. As a whale lunges mouth open, engulfing seawater and small baitfish, the whale will then close its mouth and begin to strain or push the water back out. Saltwater can pass through the hairy mat inside the mouth, but the fish become trapped inside. Next the whale swallows its food whole. Readers also learn about Salt's life and her 13 calves. Each have received a name in honor of their famous mom. By watching Salt and her offspring, scientists have learned that humpback moms have a single calf every few years. The calf stays with mom for a year, but it will return to the same feeding area when a juvenile and then as an adult. Also discussed are current research techniques being conducted on humpback whales. Much of the research is focused on a benign technique called photo-identification, where natural body markings and features are photographed and used to create catalogs of known individuals. Known individual humpbacks are then tracked over the course of a season or from one season to the next. Readers also learn about the many hazards facing our oceans and all marine wildlife that call the ocean home. Marine hazards include, overfishing, climate change, marine debris, and collisions with vessels. Positive actions that people can take to help protect the oceans, whales, and all marine animals includes, reducing, reusing, and recycling, as well as reading about marine wildlife and participating in conservation activities like beach cleanups.

Download Here Come the Humpbacks! Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Read Along or Enhanced eBook: In this latest book by acclaimed science writer April Pulley Sayre, young readers follow along as a mother humpback whale and her calf make their annual trek from the warm waters of the Caribbean to their summer feeding grounds off the coast of New England and back again. Within this extraordinary story of migration, Sayre provides information about how humpback whales breathe, sing, and how they got their name—a secondary layer of text expands upon the more intricate details. But aside from the basics about the humpback whale species, HERE COME THE HUMPBACKS! also delves into the dangers these whales face—from other mammals and sea life such as hungry orcas, to man-made threats like pollution and giant ships. Jamie Hogan’s stunning, rich pastel illustrations complement Sayre’s text beautifully, and make this book a great choice for a read-aloud in the classroom, library, or at home.

Download Beautiful Whale Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
DIVPhotographer and conservationist Bryant Austin’s breathtaking photographic project Beautiful Whale is the first of its kind: It chronicles his fearless attempts to reach out to whales as fellow sentient beings. Featuring Austin’s intimate images—some as detailed as a single haunting eye—that result from encounters based on mutual trust, Beautiful Whale captures the grace and intelligence of these magnificent creatures. Austin spent days at a time submerged, motionless, in the waters of remote spawning grounds waiting for humpback, sperm, and minke whales to seek him out. As oceanographer Sylvia A. Earle says in her foreword to the book, “As an ambassador from the ocean—and to the ocean—Bryant Austin is not only a source of inspiration. He is cause for hope.†? Praise for Beautiful Whale: “You can’t help thinking, with every passing page, that this is what’s it’s like to swim with the whales.†? —The Wall Street Journal /div
