How to age gracefully? Ask a bowhead whale

Updated: 06 Jan 2015

To learn the secret behind aging gracefully, you may want to check out the bowhead whale, the majestic denizen of the Arctic waters that boasts a lifespan topping 200 years. Scientists on Monday unveiled the genetic blueprint for the bowhead whale, a genome chock full of clues behind this creature's exceptional longevity and remarkable disease resistance. Comparing its genome to other mammals, the scientists discovered differences in the whale's genes related to DNA repair, cell cycle, cancer and the aging process that may help explain its lifespan and vitality. "This is the biggest animal whose genome has been sequenced thus far and the first big whale to be sequenced," said University of Liverpool geneticist João Pedro de Magalhães, who led the study published in the scientific journal Cell Reports. "By identifying novel maintenance and repair mechanisms, we hope to learn what is the secret for living longer, healthier lives and may be able apply this knowledge to improve human health and preserve human life," Magalhães added. Bowhead whales, which live longer than any other mammal, are among Earth's largest creatures. They reach up to 60 feet (18 meters) and are the second heaviest whale after the blue whale. They are mostly black, with the front part of their upturned lower jaw white. Bowhead whales are filter feeders that eat huge amounts of zooplankton. "Bowhead whales weigh between 50 and 100 tons when fully grown and have probably 1,000 times as many cells as humans, but they apparently have a anti-tumor response at the cell level that is far more efficient than what is found in humans," said biologist Mads Peter Heide-Jørgensen of the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources and the University of Copenhagen. The scientists said the bowhead whale's genome may also help explain physiological adaptations related to size. Magalhães said whale cells must have a much lower metabolic rate than those of smaller mammals. He said the genome study detected changes in one specific gene involved in the body's temperature regulation that may be related to metabolic differences in whale cells. The bowhead whale genome is slightly smaller than the human genome and the typical mammalian genome. "Generally speaking, more complex species tend to have larger genomes with more genes, but I don't think within mammals there is a correlation between body size and genome size," Magalhães said.

Barrow, Alaska, Bowhead Whale harvest on Oct. 5, 201 extracted 3 whales. We viewed the harvest of one whale of over 20 ft onto the beach in the Pt. Barrow area. It was carried by fork lift about a mile to the 'prep' area. The second whale was around 34 ft. It took two forklifts, driving in unison, to carry it to the 'prep' area. This video is of the harvest/prep of the two Bowhead whales. Also included is footage of one of the whalers with the knife he made, used to help cut up the whale portions for distribution to the community. Also our whaler kindly showed us how a baleen is cleaned. For some 10,000 years the Inupiat people have harvested the Bowhead whale for food, clothing, and other uses. Every bit of the whale is used. The whale lives in the Arctic area off of Barrow most of the year, except when it migrates briefly to the Bering Sea. The Inupiat people treat the whale with great respect and thanks, for its submission of life for their subsistance.

Right whale - Video Learning - WizScience.com

Updated: 13 Aug 2015

"Right whales" are three species of large baleen whales of the genus ""Eubalaena"": the North Atlantic right whale , the North Pacific right whale and the southern right whale . They are classified in the family Balaenidae with the bowhead whale. Right whales have rotund bodies with arching rostrums, V-shaped blowholes and dark gray or black skin. The most distinguishing feature of a right whale is the rough patches of skin on its head which appear white due to parasitism by whale lice. Right whales can grow up to more than 18 m long with the maximum record of 19.8 m and weigh up to 100 ST, significantly larger than other coastal species such as humpbacks, grays, or bryde's, but smaller than blues. All three species are migratory, moving seasonally to feed or give birth. The warm equatorial waters form a barrier that isolates the northern and southern species from one another. In the Northern Hemisphere, Right whales tend to avoid open waters and stay close to peninsulas and bays and on continental shelves, as these areas offer greater shelter and an abundance of their preferred foods. In the Southern Hemisphere, right whales feed far offshore in summer, but a large portion of the population occur in near shore waters in winter. Right whales feed mainly on copepods but also consume krill and pteropods. They may forage the surface, underwater or even on the ocean bottom. During courtship, males gather into large groups to compete for a single female, suggesting that sperm competition appears to be an important factor in mating behavior. Although the blue whale is the largest animal on the planet, the testes of the right whale are actually ten times larger than those of the blue whale – with each weighing up to 525 kg, they are by far the largest of any animal on Earth. Gestation tends to last a year, and calves are born at 1 ST in weight and 4 - in length. Weaning occurs after eight months. Wiz Science™ is "the" learning channel for children and all ages.

The "bowhead whale" is a species of the right whale family Balaenidae, in suborder Mysticeti and genus "Balaena". A stocky dark-colored whale without a dorsal fin, it can grow to 20 m in length. This thick-bodied species can weigh 75 t to 100 t. It lives entirely in fertile Arctic and sub-Arctic waters, unlike other whales that migrate to low latitude waters to feed or reproduce. It was also known as the "Greenland right whale" or "Arctic whale". American whalemen called it the "steeple-top", "polar whale", or "Russia" or "Russian whale". The bowhead has the largest mouth of any animal. The bowhead was an early whaling target. Its population was severely reduced before a 1966 moratorium. Its population has since recovered and is now rated "Least Concern". Carl Linnaeus first described this whale in the 10th edition of his "Systema Naturae" . Seemingly identical to its cousins in the North Atlantic, North Pacific and Southern Oceans, they were all thought to be a single species, collectively known as the "right whale", and given the binomial name "Balaena mysticetus". Today, the bowhead whale occupies a monotypic genus, separate from the right whales, as was proposed by the work of John Edward Gray in 1821. For the next 180 years, the Balaenidae family was the subject of great taxonometric debate. Authorities have repeatedly recategorized the three populations of right whale plus the bowhead whale, as one, two, three or four species, either in a single genus or in two separate genera. Eventually, it was recognized that bowheads and right whales were in fact different, but there was still no strong consensus as to whether they shared a single genus or two. As recently as 1998, Dale Rice, in his comprehensive and otherwise authoritative classification, "Marine mammals of the world: systematics and distribution", listed just two species: "B. glacialis" and "B. mysticetus" .

Sharks are a group of fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head. Modern sharks are classified within the clade Selachimorpha (or Selachii) and are the sister group to the rays. However, the term "shark" has also been used for extinct members of the subclass Elasmobranchii outside the Selachimorpha, such as Cladoselache and Xenacanthus. Under this broader definition, the earliest known sharks date back to more than 420 million years ago.[1] Since then, sharks have diversified into over 505 species. They range in size from the small dwarf lanternshark (Etmopterus perryi), a deep sea species of only 17 centimetres (6.7 in) in length, to the whale shark (Rhincodon typus), the largest fish in the world, which reaches approximately 12 metres (39 ft) in length. Sharks are found in all seas and are common to depths of 2,000 metres (6,600 ft). They generally do not live in freshwater although there are a few known exceptions, such as the bull shark and the river shark, which can survive and be found in both seawater and freshwater.[2] They breathe through five to seven gill slits. Sharks have a covering of dermal denticles that protects their skin from damage and parasites in addition to improving their fluid dynamics. They have several sets of replaceable teeth.[3] Well-known species such as the great white shark, tiger shark, blue shark, mako shark, and the hammerhead shark are apex predators—organisms at the top of their underwater food chain. Many shark populations are threatened by human activities. you may see in this video shark vs whale, shark vs whale fight, shark vs whale killer, shark attack, shark attack whale Whale (origin Old English hwæl from Proto-Germanic *hwalaz) is the common name for various marine mammals of the order Cetacea.[1] The term whale sometimes refers to all cetaceans, but more often it excludes dolphins and porpoises, which belong to the suborder Odontoceti (toothed whales).

Human hunting of whales from the seventeenth century until 1986 radically reduced the populations of some whale species.

This decision was made against them and it's purely seen that's what they live on." 8. SOUNDBITE: (English) Dr Susan Lieberman, World Wildlife Fund Scientist "Japan requested 50 minke whales, or what's called small type coastal whaling for coastal communities in Japan and that's a commercial harvest which would have been a violation on the global moratorium on whaling. That's not a subsistence harvest. In other words subsistence is aboriginal communities it means it's subsistence and people are never using it for commercial purposes at all. That's completely different and Japan is trying to change the vote that already happened." 22 May 2002 10. Various of whaling research vessels 11. Various of whale gunner Yasuaki Sasaki showing how to harpoon whale 12. SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Yasuaki Sasaki, Whale gunner "It is just becoming a bureaucratic discussion. Whatever they debate, I do not think any decision will be made at this conference as long as it stays that way. I hoped this would be a great opportunity to hold an international conference so I hoped that the debate would be conducted on scientific data instead of the emotional issues and let the delegates accept what can be accepted." 19 May 2002 13.

SOUNDBITE: (Japanese) Whale meat vendor "It goes well with the Japanese palette and look at the wide variety of the whale meat products, but the problem is this high price." 15. Various of whale meat being sold STORYLINE: The International Whaling Commission (IWC) on Thursday rejected for the first time an application for special whaling permits for indigenous people in Alaska and Siberia after failing to reach consensus on the issue. The 45 eligible voters of the 48-member body voted down by 30-14, with one abstention, a U.S. and Russian proposal to renew the five-year, 280 catch limit on the so-called "aboriginal subsistence take" of Arctic bowhead whales. But several members suggested the IWC will continue discussions on the issue to pave the way for all indigenous peoples to be granted the right to their food source. Existing catch limits for aboriginal whaling operations -- on Arctic bowhead whales, northeastern Pacific gray whales, minke whales off Greenland, west Greenland fin whales, and north Atlantic humpback whales off St. Vincent and the Grenadines -- are to expire this year. U.S. delegates had asked to allow the American Makah Indians an annual catch quota of four gray whales a year and the Eskimos' 56 bowhead whales. Russia had requested that the Chukotka people living in its northeast be allowed to take in 120 gray whales. Japan has criticized as hypocritical the U.S. request, saying that if such kills are approved, Japan should be granted the right to coastal whaling. Japan's request to allow four coastal whaling towns to catch a total of 50 minke whales from nearby waters was rejected on Tuesday. Shimonoseki became Japan's main whaling city when modern whaling methods were introduced at the end of the last century. The city produced twenty thousand tons of whale meat at its peak from the early 1960's to 70's. But the glorious days of whaling industry ceased as the moratorium on commercial whaling was adopted by the IWC in 1986. The city then became the base for sighting so-called survey vessels.

Sharks are a group of fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton, five to seven gill slits on the sides of the head, and pectoral fins that are not fused to the head. Modern sharks are classified within the clade Selachimorpha (or Selachii) and are the sister group to the rays. However, the term "shark" has also been used for extinct members of the subclass Elasmobranchii outside the Selachimorpha, such as Cladoselache and Xenacanthus. Under this broader definition, the earliest known sharks date back to more than 420 million years ago.[1] Sea lions are sea mammals characterized by external ear flaps, long foreflippers, the ability to walk on all fours, and short, thick hair. Together with the fur seals, they comprise the family Otariidae, eared seals, which contains six extant and one extinct species (the Japanese sea lion) in five genera. Their range extends from the subarctic to tropical waters of the global ocean in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with the notable exception of the northern Atlantic Ocean.[1] They have an average lifespan of 20–30 years. A male California sea lion weighs on average about 300 kg (660 lb) and is about 8 ft (2.4 m) long, while the female sea lion weighs 100 kg (220 lb) and is 6 ft (1.8 m) long. The largest sea lion is Steller's sea lion, which can weigh 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) and grow to a length of 10 ft (3.0 m). Sea lions consume large quantities of food at a time and are known to eat about 5–8% of their body weight (about 15–35 lb (6.8–15.9 kg)) at a single feedin Whale (origin Old English hwæl from Proto-Germanic *hwalaz) is the common name for various marine mammals of the order Cetacea.[1] The term whale sometimes refers to all cetaceans, but more often it excludes dolphins and porpoises, which belong to the suborder Odontoceti (toothed whales).

Japan to block bid to allow Alaskan Eskimo whaling

Updated: 21 Jul 2015

Tokyo - 7 August 2002 1. Various of boxes containing whale meat being unloaded 2. Wide shot of Masayuki Komatsu, Japanese Fishery Agency 3. SOUNDBITE: (English) Masayuki Komatsu, Japanese Fishery Agency "I think that the US government, along with the Alaskan people, must think about it, because if stock will be depleted that is unprofitable and disadvantageous to the Alaskan people. We would like to express our concern, but if they are going to make exactly the same proposal then we must express our concern on scientific grounds." File - Japan, date unknown 4. Various of whale meat products for sale 5. Various of Japanese politician eating whale meat STORYLINE: Japan's top whaling official has indicated that Tokyo would block U-S attempts to reinstate a five-year whale hunting season for Alaskan Eskimos. The issue of Alaskan Eskimo whale hunts has created friction between the two countries since Japan led a drive to ban the hunting of bowhead whales by Eskimo subsistence hunters at a May meeting of the International Whaling Commission (IWC). The decision to block Eskimo hunting was widely seen as payback for U-S opposition to Japanese-led efforts to lift a 1986 ban on commercial whaling. It was the first time since the 1970s that aboriginal hunting quotas had been denied. Eskimos had previously been allowed to hunt 55 bowhead whales over five-year periods. The United States protested against the decision and said it could call for a re-vote on the issue as early as October when the I-W-C is scheduled to hold its next meeting. While Komatsu said Japan supported Eskimo whaling in principle, he said the country wanted their hunt quota to be reviewed once a year instead of once every five years. Komatsu also said that Japan and Norway would be cooperating in a push for permission to trade in northern hemisphere minke whales at the United Nations Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) in November. Japan, one of the world's largest consumers of whale meat, is seeking permission to import the meat from Norway. The I-W-C allows Japan a limited catch for scientific research, but critics of the programme say the research hunt is merely a front for commercial whaling.

As the ice melts and polar bears struggle to survive in a fast-warming world, another animal is taking over the polar bear's once dominant role as top predator. An ever-increasing number of killer whales - or orcas - are appearing in Arctic waters in the summer months, attracted to these huge hunting grounds by the growing expanses of open water and attacking the same prey animals polar bears once survived on: seals, narwhal, belugas, and bowhead whales. Polar bears may be classified as marine mammals, but they are not adapted to hunting in the water despite being able to swim huge distances. They need the ice to hunt and as it vanishes they can no longer reach their traditional prey. And they are certainly no match for the world's greatest aquatic hunter - the killer whale. As the polar bear's world is shrinking, the orca's is growing.

Exploratory drilling, seismic testing and ice-breaking activities may expose whales to damaging sounds, and ‘a deaf whale is a dead whale’ an application document filed by Shell to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) reveals. Royal Dutch Shell’s plans for exploratory drilling in the US Arctic this summer will involve the harassment of whales and seals by the thousands, Most notably, Shell estimates its Arctic activities will expose more than 2,500 bowhead whales, more than 2,500 gray whales and more than 50,000 ringed seals to continuous sounds and pulsed sounds, deemed damaging enough to constitute harassment. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/05/shells-us-arctic-drilling-whales-seals http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by Wochit using http://wochit.com

In 1848 in Barrow, Alaska, a young Eskimo boy witnesses a rare sight - the birth of a bowhead, or ice whale, that he calls Siku. But when he unwittingly guides Yankee whalers to a pod of bowhead whales, all the whales are killed. For this act, the boy receives a curse of banishment. Through the generations, this curse is handed down. Siku, the ice whale, returns year after year, in reality and dreams, to haunt each descendant. The curse is finally broken when a daughter recognizes and saves the whale, and he in turn saves her. Told in alternating voices, both human and whale, Jean Craighead George's last novel is an ambitious and touching take on the interconnectedness of humans, animals, and the earth they depend on.

Intelligence, warm blood and strong family bonds have made mammals the most successful group of animals on the planet: they can even survive the Antarctic winter. Here, a Weddell seal leads her pup on its first swim beneath the ice. In East Africa, a rufous sengi uses a mental map of the pathways it has cleared to outwit a chasing lizard. A young aye-aye takes four years to learn how to find and extract beetle grubs, food no other mammal can reach. Reindeer move through the Arctic tundra, making the longest overland migration of any animal. Other mammals have evolved different ways of travelling long distances: ten million fruit bats congregate at Zambia's Kasanka swamps to gorge on fruiting trees. Mammals employ different strategies to find food. At night on the African savannah, hyenas force lions off a kill through sheer weight of numbers, whilst in the Arctic, dozens of polar bears take advantage of a bowhead whale carcass. Raising young is another important factor in mammals' success. Coatis and meerkats form social groups to share the burden of childcare. A first-time African elephant mother needs the experience of the herd's matriarch to get her young calf out of trouble. The largest animals in the ocean are also mammals. The seas around Tonga are both a nursery and mating ground for humpback whales. A female leads her potential suitors on a chase, the males battling for dominance behind her. Life on Location follows the never-before filmed humpback heat run.[29]

[Animal Planet 2015] Killer Whale Orca Full Documentary

Order: Reorder
Duration: 104:02
Updated: 15 Sep 2015

The killer whale (Orcinus orca), also referred to as the orca whale or orca, and less commonly as the blackfish or grampus, is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member. Killer whales are found in all oceans, from the frigid Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas. Killer whales as a species have a diverse diet, although individual populations often specialize in particular types of prey. Some feed exclusively on fish, while others hunt marine mammals like pinnipeds, and even large whales. They have been known to attack baleen whale calves.[11] Killer whales are regarded as apex predators, lacking natural predators. Killer whales are highly social; some populations are composed of matrilineal family groups which are the most stable of any animal species.[12] Their sophisticated hunting techniques and vocal behaviors, which are often specific to a particular group and passed across generations, have been anthropomorphically described as manifestations of culture.[13] The IUCN currently assesses the orca's conservation status as data deficient because of the likelihood that two or more killer whale types are separate species. Some local populations are considered threatened or endangered due to prey depletion, habitat loss, pollution (by PCBs), capture for marine mammal parks, and conflicts with fisheries. In late 2005, the "southern resident" population of killer whales that inhabits British Columbia and Washington state waters were placed on the U.S. Endangered Species list. Wild killer whales are not considered a threat to humans,[14] but there have been cases of captive orcas killing or injuring their handlers at marine theme parks.[15] Killer whales feature strongly in the mythologies of indigenous cultures, with their reputation ranging from being the souls of humans to merciless killers. whale documentary national geographic hd, whale documentary for kids, whale documentary national geographic, whale documentary david attenborough, whale documentary 2015, whale documentary hd, whale documentary bbc, whale documentary for children, whale documentary seaworld, whale documentary 2014, whale documentary, killer whale documentary blackfish, blue whale documentary bbc, killer whale documentary bbc, humpback whale documentary bbc, sperm whale documentary bbc, blue whale documentary, beluga whale documentary, blue whale documentary national geographic, bowhead whale documentary, killer whale documentary captivity, killer whale documentary david attenborough, blue whale documentary david attenborough, killer whale documentary discovery, whale evolution documentary, whaleship essex documentary, the whale documentary full, fin whale documentary, whale fishing documentary, false killer whale documentary, whale shark full documentary, killer whale documentary national geographic, whale documentary national geographic full, gray whale documentary, sperm whale documentary national geographic, humpback whale documentary national geographic, grey whale documentary, great blue whale documentary, killer whale documentary hd, humpback whale documentary, 52 hertz whale documentary, whale hunting documentary, james whale documentary, killer whale documentary, luna killer whale documentary, seaworld killer whale documentary, orca killer whale documentary, the whale documentary luna, whale life documentary, lonely whale documentary, leviathan whale documentary, whale mating documentary, minke whale documentary, whale migration documentary, orca whale documentary, ocean voyager whale documentary, documentary on blue whale, whale oil documentary, documentary on whale, prehistoric whale documentary, pilot whale documentary, right whale documentary, killer whale documentary seaworld, sperm whale documentary, whale shark documentary, sea world whale documentary, whale song documentary, the blue whale documentary, the whale documentary, luna the whale documentary, the killer whale documentary, white whale documentary, whale wars documentary, killer whale documentary 2014

The Blue Planet Episode 4 Frozen Seas | BBC Documentay

Duration: 41:44
Updated: 27 Jun 2015

The Blue Planet Episode 4 Frozen Seas - BBC Documentay Full Episodes Narrated by David Attenborough. This episode compares oceanic life in the Arctic and Antarctica. The winter in these regions brings temperatures of minus 50 °C and frozen seas that create the biggest challenge. However, there are polynyas in the Arctic, which are free of ice owing to the pressure of currents on either side, and such places do provide refuge for some species, like the walrus and the bowhead whale. A pod of belugas is shown: their movements are limited to a single hole in the ice — therefore putting them at risk of attack from polar bears. Everything changes with the arrival of summer, when melting ice brings a variety of migratory visitors. At the other end of the planet, in the Antarctic, winter is even more harsh, but emperor penguins and Weddell seals stay throughout. Under the sea ice, krill shrink in size and revert to their juvenile form in order to save energy. Chinstrap penguins overwinter to the north, beyond the ice, but return during the spring to breed. Having managed to get ashore, they have to walk a great distance to find a nest site, and the most favoured is Zavodovski Island, an active volcano whose warmth keeps ice from forming. Further south, as the sea ice breaks up, humpback and minke whales appear, their target the abundant krill. The leopard seal is the Antarctic's top predator. It is most effective underwater, and emperor penguins propel themselves at speed through its territory. Nonetheless, it almost invariably makes a kill.

Congressional Staff Briefing: Aboriginal Subsistence Whaling - Culture and Food

June 20, 2012 Speakers: Senator Mark Begich (D-AK) Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) Representative Don Young (R-AK) George Noongwook, Chairman, Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission What Was Covered: • The Alaskan Whaling Commission and a group of both Democrat and Republican Alaskan representatives briefed Members of Congress and their staff on the importance of subsistence whaling to the indigenous people of Alaska. • Indigenous people harvest the gray whale and the bowhead whale, which is indispensable to their survival. The harvesting of whales, which is sanctioned by a quota set by the IWC, provides a large portion of the indigenous people's diet. • Whaling for the indigenous people of Alaska also provides more than sustenance; it has spiritual and cultural significance that binds the people together. • Whaling in rural Alaska provides food security for a community that has a subsistence lifestyle and a very high cost of living. • Eskimo whaling experts have used science and research to understand species management, and whale species that are being harvested are also thriving. • Communities have been working with experts to improve the tools used to harvest the whales, ensuring more humane hunting.
