pilot whale

1 Because of the challenges of hunting and harvesting blue whales, Szabo’s team of researchers had expected to find more evidence of smaller whales like pilot whales and minke whales, which would have been easier to drive ashore and butcher and, today at least, are more abundant.

2 Many migrant species rarely seen from Puerto Rico proper come close to shore: dolphins, pilot whales, tiger sharks, bluefin tuna, flying fish.

3 In August, a pod of nearly 100 pilot whales stranded themselves on the shore of an Australian beach, befuddling marine biologists and attracting international attentio when wildlife experts made the decision to euthanize them.

4 The Navy’s Marine Mammal Program has at various points tested a dozen marine mammals — including orcas, pilot whales and seals — for duties including mine detection and swimmer defense.

5 While pilot whales live in kind of deep water and are deep diving species, killer whales tend to be more associated with coasts and shoreline and tend to stay closer to the surface.

6 The pilot whales hung around for more than two hours.

7 Similar considerations may have led to the evolution of menopause in female pilot whales.

8 Then the pilot whales made another run at the sperm whales.

9 This is the largest sperm whale in the world.

这是世界上最大的一头巨头鲸。

10 The sperm whale therefore has to look for the squid using sound waves.

因此巨头鲸就只得利用声波来寻找鱿鱼。

11 But that is not the way of the short-finned pilot whale.

但是，实际上，这不是一些短鳍领航鲸的移动方式。

12 But a pilot whale was noted as having six minutes of REM in a single night.

但一条巨头鲸在一个单独的夜里被记录有6分钟的眼的迅速跳动.
