Whale Facts and Dolphin Facts


Whales and dolphins are amazing animals!
They are the largest and some of the most incredible animals on earth!

As a result of human activity both in the past and present, their numbers have dramatically decreased and some species have disappeared.
 
If we don't take care of the whales now,
they may be gone forever!

This site is dedicated to teaching you whale and dolphin facts and to inspire you to do your part to protect them!
