False Killer Whale - Human Interaction

Human Interaction

Several public aquaria display false killer whales. For example, Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan displays false killer whales in the Okichan Theater.

Recent evidence indicates that the local population of false killer whales in Hawaii has declined dramatically over the last 20 years. Five years of aerial surveys undertaken from 1993 through 2004 showed a steep decline in sighting rates. Group sizes of the largest groups documented in surveys were almost four times larger than the entire current population estimate.

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or interaction:

    The power of hope upon human exertion, and happiness, is wonderful.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    UG [universal grammar] may be regarded as a characterization of the genetically determined language faculty. One may think of this faculty as a ‘language acquisition device,’ an innate component of the human mind that yields a particular language through interaction with present experience, a device that converts experience into a system of knowledge attained: knowledge of one or another language.
    Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
