Whales and dolphins, the most majestic creatures of the oceans, are regular visitors to Australian shores. This practical and informative book provides a guide to their identification and a state-by-state listing of the most popular whale watching locations.
The behaviour and anatomy of both toothed and baleen whales is described as well as their bredding, communication and migratory patterns. There is also useful information on what to do and who to contact in the event of whale sightings or strandings.
