We have Beluga whales at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium and they have been very successful in breeding them. Their lack if a dorsal fin gives them a sleek look that belies the fact that they are whales.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517790803064076327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476278785366059110.post-64967843324885992072008-08-08T21:23:00.000-04:002008-08-08T21:23:00.000-04:00Ruth, your comment has merit.

While it doesn't necessarily follow that humans will automatically carry equal amounts of the same pollutants, the point is well-made none-the-less.

A dorsal fin would hamper their movement, especially if it got caught on a sharp piece or something; or a polar bear could hook it's foreclaws into it.<BR/><BR/>Tony, as do I.<BR/><BR/>Gary, the cow and the moon are really cute and I sent you an email.<BR/><BR/>Pam, Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476278785366059110.post-43271694292050862462008-08-08T18:56:00.000-04:002008-08-08T18:56:00.000-04:00Another interesting post Barbara, thank-you.
