Abstract:
This book, written in Spanish, describes anatomical and behavioral characteristics of a variety of whales, including killer whales, blue whales, and beluga whales. This book is part of the ANIMALES MARINOS SALVAJES series, which explores the lives of dolphins, sharks, manatees, and whales. The book begins by explaining that whales are mammals that live in the ocean. The book next describes the sizes and behavioral characteristics of a variety of whales. For example, the book points out that the blue whale is 82-feet long and lives in cold waters. The text also describes the shape of the whale fluke, what baleen is, and how it helps whales feed. Other topics include the social lives of whales, how whales communicate, and how whales find their prey. The final section explores the negative and positive impact of human activities on whale populations, such as marine conservation parks that protect a variety of species. Also included is a list of print and Internet resources for further investigation. (Author/JS)
