Wednesday, March 18, 2009 Y 2:04 PM 4th Reflective Journal The whales in the Bering Sea are poorly described, with even recent reviews of cetaceans' role in the ecosystem reliant on data from historical whaling records. And the climate changes in the Bering Sea are also affecting the whales. The reduction in sea ice has obvious and immediate ramifications on ice-obligated marine mammal species such as polar bears, walruses and ice seals. They are facing breathing difficulties and are facing death now. The whales facing difficulties are called the Grey Whales. What is different between whales and grey whales? Whales have the general shape of a fish with forelimbs modified to form flippers, a tail with horizontal flukes, and one or two blowholes for breathing, especially one of the very large species as distinguished from the smaller dolphins and porpoises, while grey whales are the whalebone of northern Pacific waters. That have grayish-black coloring with white blotches. It is also called devilfish. Different whales have different characteristic and some can fascinate you with something that you can never ever expected from them every second. I personally feel that whales are very amazing marine creatures just like dolphins and hopefully I can visit them and get up close to them personally.
