My name is Kyle Spinder and I am a student from Pleasant Grove High
School in Pleasant Grove, Utah. I love sea animals like whales and
dolphins, and that is why I am doing a research paper on Marine Mammal
Science. I have always dreamed of training an orca like Shamu from Sea
World. I would like to ask a few questions.
How did you get to be where you are?
FAQS about Orcas?
Why did you pursue in you career?
Thanks,
Kyle
What do I do as a marine mammal scientist or trainer? Our organization is
dedicated to education about whales and dolphins, especially orcas (killer
whales). Our focus is on the orcas that inhabit the waters of the Pacific
Northwest.
How did I get to be where I am? When I first began to learn about whales I
became very interested in learning more. I soon realized that there was a
great deal of fascinating new knowledge that had not been told to most people.
Why did I pursue this career? I also began to realize that whales were in
danger of losing their sources of food and becoming contaminated by human
activities. I considered that if people became more educated and aware of
the amazing capabilities and life styles of whales and dolphins they would
be less likely to harm them. Thus I began a career in whale education.
There are many others with similar stories.
FAQS about Orcas? I refer you to our web page containing just those facts,
at http://www.orcanetwork.org/nathist/nathist.html
Thanks, and I hope this helps,
Howard
