The fish charge at the shore and virtually beach themselves in an effort to grab the unwary birds, in the style of a Crocodile taking a Wildebeest or a Killer Whale taking a pinniped.

Elephants, whales, hippopotamuses, giraffes, and alligators use low-frequency sounds to communicate over long distances, often miles; and bats, dolphins, whales, frogs, and various rodents use high-frequency sounds to find food, communicate with others, and navigate. A Grateful Whale.

What put this once small fishing town on the map was not birds but mammals, specifically whales and dolphins. The reason Kaikoura is such a great place to see albatrosses and whales is one and the same, and the same reason indeed that Monterrey in California is a great place to watch whales and albatross.

Animal Ethics

AUGUST 19, 2009

In advocating utilitarianism to a group of people I therefore had to express my feelings and appeal to their feelings. In the past I have been concerned to advocate a normative utilitarian theory from the point of view of a non-cognitivist meta-ethics.

From the fishing boats we spotted lots of water in the air, both from a whale breaching and blowing.
