SynopsisSome whales are bigger than the biggest dinosaur that ever lived, and some are graceful as dancers when they leap out of the water. A whale can swim through the water at dizzying speeds or dive as deep as a mile. A mother whale is a gentle and attentive parent who squirts as much as a hundred gallons of milk a day into the mouth of her hungry baby. And the strange, beautiful songs of the humpback whale have been captivating the world for centuries. Here is the whale - gentle giant of the oceans., Whales are among the biggest creatures that have ever lived on our planet. Some whales grow bigger than one hundred feet long and can weigh as much as fifty cars or more. They are huge, majestic creatures, yet we rarely ever lay eyes on them. Acclaimed science writer Seymour Simon introduces you to one of the world's truly amazing animals., From orcas to singing humpbacks, a 1989 New York Times Best Illustrated Book shows how these gentle giants of the sea eat, move, migrate, and survive.
