The mysterious lives of whales and dolphins come alive in the full-page photos and lively text of the Whales and Dolphins series. Explore the unique behavioral and physical adaptations that allow these sea mammals to swim fast, leap above the water, blow loud exhale blasts, create curious clicks and clangs or haunting songs, and use echolocation to see in deep, dark waters. Humans feel a connection to these intelligent, playful fellow mammals, and the more we learn about their communication, group lives, and devotion to their calves, the closer that connection becomes. Surprising facts, bold images, and detailed narratives will satisfy curious young readers of Whales and Dolphins.Orcas are dolphins that eat fish, seals, and sea lions. They are not whales and do not threaten humans, except by catching food that humans want to net and sell.

Orcas are shown in full-page photos. Learn to recognize an individual orca by its uniquely shaped fin and saddle-patch markings.
