It's an alarming trend to see two and we're basically in the middle of whale season.

[The whale] is going to come to us when it's time, ... We're not pressured.

This whale has been in water that has only been a few meters deep. We mustn't forget that its normal habitat is 1,000 meters below sea level.
Martin Garside
Back in 1980, whale watching surpassed whaling as an industry. Now it's worth about four times as much. Whale watching provides far, far more jobs to people than whaling ever did. Whale watching has become an ally in the fight to end whaling.
Paul Watson
I'm worried. We are just starting the year and already we seem to see a dead whale every day. Something is happening there and it needs to be investigated.
Homero Aridjis
Scrimshaw on cow horns is only common in Australia, and in the Wild West. It usually involved ex-seamen who had learnt their skills carving whale bones, then ended up on the land.

Chad Truxall
They carried the play. (Reps goalie) Nick Rausch played a whale of a game. He made some unbelievable saves.
Rex Luxton
He played a whale of a game. He's getting confident and that's by design. We started him of slow and build with him and he is developing into a first-class quarterback.
Scott Tinsley
A large whale was taken betwixt my land abutting on the Thames and Greenwich, which drew an infinite concourse to see it, by water, horse, coach, and on foot, from London, and all parts. ... It would have destroyed all the boats, but ... after a long conflict, it was killed with a harping iron, struck in the head, out of which spouted blood and water.
John Evelyn
They haven't beat us in six years. I know they've been looking forward to this all year. It'll be a whale of a game.
Todd Shirley
