They fast when they are in Hawaii and stock up on food during the short summer in Alaska. To get to Alaska they must evade killer whales, fishing nets, and ships. </div> <bR> <div> Blue whales are rarely seen and they are over 100 feet long weighing about 2,000 pounds for each foot. Their heart is bigger than a small car and you can hear their heartbeat up to 2 miles away in a submarine. </div> <bR> <div> Right whales at one time were plentiful off the coast of Argentina. They were almost extinct but now number about 4,000.  They have a calve about once every three years and about 1 in 50 are born all white. Eventually, they do lose the white color. Right whales are popular by hunters in part because that have so much fat that they tend to stay afloat after being killed. One of the things that is interesting about right whales is that we don't know where they migrate to. </div> <bR> <div> We also learn about humpback and dolphins, the smallest of the whale family. The photography is beautiful both on the surface of the water, from an aerial perspective and done below with the divers.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Tell Me More About It</B>: This is a film that both the kids and the adults will immensely enjoy. It's very informative with respect to facts and figures but it's also breathtaking to see the rare footage of blue whales. I was spellbound by learning about the life that whales live. This is a great family outing.</div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="591" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 19 WIDTH="587"><div> George O.
