 
A whale's watery world of muted light and color is dominated by sound. Whales are masterful singers, capable of sending their calls over thousands of miles. To whales, these vocalizations are not only a means of communication, but also one of literal survival throughout their long migrations. Follow blue, humpback, orca, right whales and dolphins in their annual journeys to discover how the underwater dimension of sound influences and guides their feeding, breeding, navigation, and socialization.
This giant screen venture into the world of the largest mammals on Earth immerses audiences in the sights and sounds that surround whales and dolphins throughout their amazing lives. By studying these graceful creatures, scientists are able to learn much about animal behavior and the physics of sound and light. Appropriate for all ages and learning levels, "Whales" introduces viewers to whale biology, marine conservation, the effects of whale hunting, and the socialization and communication patterns of one of the world's most wondrous creatures.
