It's not quite West Side Story, but male blue whales use songs to warn away other males and attract females. It's a pulsing sound, more like a large piece of machinery than the Jets and the Sharks. But that song has been changing. pdboyer Sat, 16 Oct 2010 16:05:28 GMT http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128213707&ps=rs Rarely do scientists get to publish a research paper that begins with the words "The Giant Bite." On Wednesday, fossil hunters from Europe did just that. They've discovered one of the biggest predators that ever lived: a whale — one that devoured other whales and probably anything else it had an appetite for. The scientists call the creature Leviathan melvillei. "Leviathan" means sea monster, and "melvillei" refers, of course, to Herman Melville, who wrote the greatest of whale stories, Moby-Dick. Paleontologist Olivier Lambert says he's read that book — several times. pdboyer Sat, 16 Oct 2010 16:04:34 GMT http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130437080 Story about how whale dung floats near the top of the ocean and functions to recycle nitrogen from the algae that consume it fastest then die and fall to the ocean floor.
