The Wonderful World of Whales: An Interactive Story Map
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

Whales are a large diverse group of animals which belong to the clade Cetacea, which also includes porpoises and dolphins. Whales are charismatic creatures, who have captured the attention of millions around the world. Still, the world of whales is shrouded in mystery. One of the biggest challenges to studying whales is that they are hard to find. Less than 5% of the ocean has been explored, and it covers 71% of the surface of our planet. This makes whales challenging to research under wild conditions. It is thanks to dedicated researchers, explorers, and educators, that we are now beginning to understand just how incredible whales are, and how important they are to sustaining life in the ocean.

The image might be a photograph, diagram, drawing, or map -- it varies each week.
