Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Ocean currents, winds, and rainfall all work together to create a marine oasis around the Hawaiian Islands, providing a home for many species of dolphins and whales normally found in the deep oceans of the world. The Lives of Hawaiis Dolphins and Whales opens a window into the world of these mysterious creatures with stories and observations from author Robin W. Bairds work over the last seventeen years. The book includes exceptional fullcolor photographs of each species, life history descriptions, conservation threats, and maps showing sighting locations and movements of tagged individuals among the islands and offshore. While the wellknown resident spinner dolphins and visiting humpback whales are covered, the ten species of lesserknown openocean dolphins and whales that are resident to the marine slopes of the islands are highlighted as well. Among these are endangered false killer whales, deepdiving Cuviers and Blainvilles beaked whales, abundant spotted dolphins, coastal bottlenose dolphins, cryptic dwarf sperm whales, family units of shortfinned pilot whales, and social melonheaded whales. Baird also describes thirteen species of dolphins and whales that are found in offshore waters or are seasonal or occasional visitors to Hawaiian waters, including killer whales, the iconic sperm whale, and even blue whales and North Pacific right whales.More is known about the social organization and natural history of many of these marine mammals in Hawaii than anywhere else in the world. For all of the species discussed, Baird presents data obtained from longterm photoidentification studies, with distinctive individuals tracked through time and space; for many of them, he includes findings from studies using genetics and satellite tagging. He also provides information on predators and prey, social organization, diving, and nighttime behavior, along with suggestions on how to tell some of the more difficult to identify species apart. The book closes by focusing on conservation issues, both success stories and challenges, engaging readers to consider ways to protect Hawaiis unique assemblage of resident dolphins and whales.
