Twenty species of whale, each placed in the ocean it belongs to. Humpbacks over pale tropical sand with the long knobbled pectoral fins that make them unmistakable. Blue whales and fin whales out in open pelagic water, sperm whales hunting deep. Gray whales work the shallow coastal bottom, southern right whales carry their callosity patches, minke whales cut through cold green water. The Arctic set is kept honest: bowheads under ice, and belugas and narwhals with no dorsal fin at all, because neither species has one. Pilot whales, false killer whales and melon headed whales travel in pods. Every frame carries the life that belongs with it, schooling fish, krill, coral heads, drifting ice, so it reads as natural history rather than an animal dropped into blue.
