Roll and Read (Blue) 1 2 3 4 5 This system of “seeing” with sound is called echolocation. Whales make clicking sounds when they blow air through special tubes in their heads. Many species of whales are endangered. Scientists around the world are studying how whales behave and communicate. There is no guarantee that we will be able to help all the whales that are endangered. Whales are known as cetaceans. Cetaceans breathe through a blowhole at the back of their heads. The flukes, or ends of their tails, push them through the water by flapping up and down. Wolves used to live everywhere in North America. In addition, ranchers began shooting wolves in order to protect their cattle and sheep. To keep track of where the wolves were living, the scientists put special collars on them. The collars had transmitters that sent a signal to a special receiver. This allows the scientists to know where the wolves were. Canids are carnivorous, dog-like animals. Scientists are not completely sure how wolves and people first came in contact. One way that our dogs can get into trouble is by getting lost. The famous gorilla Koko, who was raised by animal psychologist Penny Patterson, has had three pet cats. A primate is a kind of land mammal with a large brain and flexible fingers and toes. Some people also think that sonar might disrupt the whales. Today, however, large ships are driven by noisy propellers. Some marine biologists who study whales think that human activities cause whales to beach. Along the Massachusetts coast in 2002, more than fifty whales stranded themselves on beaches. Whales are beached almost every migration season. To say warm in the cold ocean water, all whales have a thick layer of blubber, or fat. Orca, narwhal, and sperm whales are toothed whales. Blue, humpback, and right whales are baleen whales. If you roll a 6, choose 1 block to read.
