DAY OF WHALES

A window into nature’s evolution

An episode from the series THE SECRETS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN

Synopsis

The Mediterranean looks like a big blue desert, but beneath the surface, it’s teeming with life. However, this deep sea has revealed few of its mysteries.

Fin and sperm whales are the Mediterranean’s most enormous creatures, but what do we know of their lives, their organization, or their language?

Like so many other animals, they are threatened by the rampant development of the human activity. But all is not lost; protective actions have gained ground in recent years.
