It's an alarming trend to see two and we're basically in the middle of whale season.
David Schofield
Size isn't everything. The whale is endangered, while the ant continues to do just fine.
William E Bill Vaughan
[The whale] is going to come to us when it's time, ... We're not pressured.
Keith Johnson
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
I would never propose an experiment of any kind that I thought could possibly harm a whale.
Chris Clark
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
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
A Whale of a Tale.
Kirk Douglas
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.
Tom Thompson
They actually put devices on the animal to slow it down, floating buoys with hooks that was already attached to the line, to the whale.
David Schofield
When she entered the North Sea, she was probably a very fit and healthy whale. The ultimate cause of death is believed to be the result of a combination of factors including severe dehydration, some muscle damage and reduction of kidney function.
Paul Jepson
They have a lot of experience. They know exactly what they're doing, and they are the only two people trained to that level who can actually get in an inflatable and work with a whale.
Naomi Mcintosh
It was already dehydrated, hadn't been feeding and being out of the water would have, in effect, shriveled the animal's internal organs. It was essential to try to take the whale out to sea on the barge, but there was always the risk this would happen.
Leila Sadler
We caught up with the whalers again late last night and saw seven whale carcasses on the deck.
Shane Rattenbury
He had all three of his pitches working and had some key strikeouts with runners on base. He pitched a whale of a game.
Mike Shimek
It was a whale of a football game (against West), and we talk about being family all the time and when families are hurting, you pull together even more, and I certainly hope our kids will do that and go back and understand we had a tremendous season.
Walt Davis
The whale has always flirted with this kind of danger. It was like that old children's cartoon, 'Are you my mother?' Orcas are very social animals, and this was the only way to get his social needs met.
Fred Felleman
We have sat on the river bank and caught catfish with pin hooks. The time has come to harpoon a whale.
John Hope Franklin
This is a North Atlantic right whale. I'm going to use it (later) during school presentations.
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
A whale in the shallow water of the River Thames is like a human lost in the heat of the Sahara desert.
Laila Sadler
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
There are probably many children who may remember seeing this bottle-nosed whale in London and in the future I hope that they may become marine mammal enthusiasts and conservationists.
Paul Jepson
We are observing the whale sharks.
Governor Miguel Dominguez
Time, the dark whale, spouts blithely from his spiracleA jet of memory that makes glad the sun.
William Rose Benet
If you go to any reef around the world, except for those that are really protected, the sharks are gone. Their value is so great that completely harmless sharks, like whale sharks, are killed, for their fins.
Ransom Myers
It's similar basically to the techniques of early whalers. You get towed around. Sometimes the whale will just plain stop. This guy didn't.
David Mattila
There are a lot of wives who previously would have stuck things out. Now, if their husband is worth 20 million, and they know they can get 10 million if they split up, they think they might as well. Because you can have a whale of a time as a single woman with 10 million pounds in the bank.
Barbara Simpson
They're an urban whale, really, if you will. They're found near shore near these large, busy ports.
Chris Slay
The bay's wilderness character makes it a favorite destination of Juneau's residents for camping, boating, fishing, bird watching, kayaking, whale watching, and many other recreational activities. Berners Bay contributes enormously to Juneau's quality of life. This mine, with its docks and vessel traffic, puts the bay's wildlife at risk, and will severely impact the recreational uses of the area.
John Hudson
D.J. and Cameron did a whale of a job on the boards for us. They were the difference at the end.
Carlton Valentine
They're going to be a handful all year, not just (tonight). He's got em playing like they're supposed to be playing and that's a tribute to him. He's done a whale of a job.
Pete Scouras
This is a victory for sound science, the killer whales, and the people of the Pacific Northwest. However, if Congress continues on its path to gut the Endangered Species Act, the best tools available to protect the killer whale will be ripped right out of the hands of the scientists and resource managers in the Pacific Northwest.
Brent Plater
We're asking consumers to be aware of who funds the whale hunters, and to let them know that whaling is bad for business.
Steve Shallhorn
It's been a whale of a ride.
Mindi Brennaman
It doesn't matter if you're a killer whale or a human or a mouse or a guinea pig -- you've all got thyroid hormones. You've all got the same kind of immune system.
Peter Ross
They really need to start monitoring marine acoustic pollution and how much whale watching goes on. We say there are problems but we don't know how big a problem it is because we haven't even measured that.
Fred Felleman
Palestine is a good ball club. They've got speed and a lot of good athletes. They played a whale of a game. The better team won tonight.
Mike White
It's a sad day. We're returning upriver with the body of the whale, and we'll make it available to whale experts for examination.
Martin Garside
We understand from the vet onboard the salvage vessel that the whale suffered a series of convulsions and died.
Katy Geary
[The Navy once asked some scientists,] If you had a sound source that sounded like a blue whale voice, what would you be able to do with it? ... could illuminate an entire ocean basin.
Christopher Clark
We've got probably a third of our football team making their first bus ride or plane ride. We're going to a whale of a place for their first time. If we can just make it from the locker room to the sideline, we'll be OK.
Rickey Bustle
The Thames whale has demonstrated the tremendous interest and wonder expressed in whales and dolphins by the global public, and hopefully highlights the need and desire to conserve wildlife species in general.
Paul Jepson
Now that we know the sensory capabilities of the tusk, we can design new experiments to describe some of the unique and unexplained behaviors of this elusive and extraordinary whale.
Martin Nweeia
We've actually seen them so close that you can see the spout but you can't see the whale. You have to crawl out on your hands and knees and look out over the rocks. They like to come up and rub against the rocks.
Morris Graves
In Depoe Bay, whale watching is darn near year round.
Dan Zimmerman
There has been only one confirmed sighting of a right whale in the Gulf of Alaska since 1980, so discovering them is not only surprising, it is fairly significant. We picked up the sounds of one whale off Kodiak Island, and several others in deep water, which is also something of a surprise, since most right whale sightings have been near-shore.
David K. Mellinger
The first day that our whale sharks arrived I was underwater photographing them. I watched them take their first lap [in the tank], it was incredible.
Jeff Swanagan
The last two days have been a helter-skelter of emotions. It is sad that the whale died, but we really did give it the best chance possible.
Alan Knight
[the whale groans] Dory: Okay, he either said, "move to the back of the throat," or he "wants a root beer float".
Finding Nemo
I have seen a lot of whale watching operations, quite a few of which were very irresponsible, but I was quite impressed with the local whale watching. They didn't harass the whales, they didn't approach the whales. They waited for the whales to come to them.
Paul Watson
That's a whale of a storm to get baseball [-size] hail and 80- to 90-mph winds at the same time.
Alan Moller
On Sunday morning, some of those same people were on a whale watch and saw the whale.
David Mattila
I remember 2000. That was a whale of a game. I remember they scored 77 points in the finals. Coach (Nick) Coleman does a great job with them. They execute real well.
Bill Castle
Hopefully this highlights the need and desire to conserve whale species in general.
Paul Jepson
Our 'D' did a whale of a job. They controlled the game and gave us great field position.
Jeff Yelton
A lot of people say my work borrows from Hitchcock, but I think if I've stolen... of COURSE I've stolen, this is a parasitic medium... but if I'm parasitic of anyone it's Welles, and Michael Pal and Kazan... those are my guys. The James Whale stuff... I LOVE the old B&W movies, like classic paintings.
George A. Romero
It's bringing us together. All of our songs and dances, everything in our culture has meaning directly related to the whale and the whale hunt.
Keith Johnson
In our management plan we have the canoe, and support boats, and each support boat will be armed with harpoons and the rifle to dispatch the whale most efficiently.
Keith Johnson
McClatchy is a dolphin swallowing a small whale.
Chuck Richard
Boy, Jenny Kirk played a whale of a game, didn't she? I'm not sure where they got the scouting report that she couldn't shoot. We got them out of that triangle pretty quick.
Steve Ingram
We understand from the vet onboard the salvage vessel that the whale suffered a series of convulsions at around 7 pm (0030 IST) and died.
Katy Geary
While the Sanctuary has been most associated with whales and whale watching, it also serves as a steward of the submerged historical and cultural resources within its boundaries. We are extremely proud that our first dedicated mission to search and explore has produced such exciting results.
Craig Macdonald
Cami played a whale of a first quarter. She got us started.
Steve Aden
[Butch Harmon, who has worked with top players from Greg Norman to Woods, says one of the most common mistakes recreational golfers make is to practice without purpose.] They tend to go to the range, warm up with some irons and then whale away with the driver, ... There is no plan to what they are doing.
Butch Harmon
I suspect that the whale that approached thought he was a harbor seal splashing.
John M. Ford
The whale spit fish at the surface of the pool and then sank below and waited. The gull came down to get the fish, and the whale grabbed it.
Michael Noonan
I think whale watching provides a great incentive for communities, and in some cases island communities, to preserve whale and dolphin populations as well as the marine environment itself. Conservation at a community level is absolutely vital for whale conservation, or any other maritime conservation, especially when it fuels the economy.
