Curious how we human types can get fixated on natural animal function especially noted when they swim in a ‘cesspool’ – my term – and eat toxic fish….I’m surprised they mate at all and that their babies survive.

I also wonder what percent of current day ‘calves’? survive compared to twenty years ago and less pollution in our fish and waterways?

It seems a fact that human mothers who smoke during pregnancy have smaller babies and other medical conditions to the fetus due to the mother smoking during the pregnancy.

Our whale mom’s live in our Puget Sound polluted waters … how have their calves been affected?
Is the birth rate down from twenty years ago?
Is the whale sperm count down due to their polluted environment?

The whale photo’s are stunning – giving us a peek into their lives… thanks photographers!
