So, one last fish themed question, and then they were moving on.
"Let's go over here..." Maya pointed at something a couple of feet away, suspended from the ceiling - something large, blue and...bigger than life looking. It was nothing less than a lifesize replica of a
Blue Whale.
"Everyone, meet the Blue Whale. This creature is a mammal - it is approximately onehundred-eight feet long, and weighs around two-hundred tonnes." Heavy.
"It is considered to be the biggest creature to have graced this earth." Just
look at it. Maya couldn't keep her eyes of the replica.
"One could think the seas are filled with these beauties, but, unfortunately they are an endangered spieces." Meaning?
"There are not many Blue Whales left in the world." And that was just so sad.
"How do you think we could help reduce the Blue Whale's endangerement?" "Any of you eaten whale before?" Hm? Hehehe.
Emily looked up at the Blue Whale... it was.... big.... very big... large in fact.
Once she had enough of looking at it, she made a quick sketch in her note books and jotted down a couple of notes.
Raising her hand she said to the Professor,
"Well... Professor I heard that whale blubber is a particularly useful resource in the muggle world, so they hunt whales to obtain it. Also in many cultures such as Japan..", she knew for a fact the Australian government were having difficulties stopping Japan from whale hunting in their waters- Japan claiming it was in the name of scientific research... cods walop!........she continued...
" they also hunt whales for their meat."
Emily looked up at the whale again, she couldn't imagine herself eating it. Just the thought of it made her sad.
"I don't think I could ever bring myself to eat Whale.... its just too sad.", she said out loud.
