    my essay about orca whales in captivity‚ specifically in SeaWorld. I made some researches about that and looked at several documentaries about whales in captivity as well in wild life.

    Blue Whales: Smarter Than You If you were to step past a worm on the sidewalk would the worm even know what you are or even that you stepped right past it? The idea is to first: prepare your mind to understand what I’m about to share; and second to show that it is very possible for a more intelligent species to be hidden right beneath our noses. If the blue whale has the ability to feel more‚ love more and understand one another better than humans can; one could only wonder what else they can do

    extremely passionate and incredibly involved with marine mammals‚ especially dolphins. I had begged my mother to take me to Sea World when I was 12 years old‚ and to my amazement‚ my mother had gone above and beyond that request just to buy me a behind the scenes pass to the amusement park. Although I no longer support Sea World‚ this experience only solidified my love for marine animals. My favorite exhibit‚ of course‚ was the dolphins; I was able to feed them‚ swim with them‚ and learn a lot about their
