Bigger than the dinosaurs?

Article Abstract:

Scientists continue to do population studies of the great blue whale, nature's largest animal, in order to determine if the whale population has rebounded from years of whaling. The California coast is the one part of the globe where the whales can be found in large numbers. Most experts claim that there are at least 1,000 blue whales alive today, but stop short of predicting a population rebound.

Dinosaurs down under

Article Abstract:

Pat and Tom Rich have discovered the remains of five previously unknown dinosaurs in Australia, a country not known for paleontological findings. The new dinosaurs were dug up in Dinosaur Cove, part of Otway National Park, west of Melbourne. The first dinosaur discovered by the Riches was named Leaellynasaura, after their daughter, and is one of only two dinosaurs given a female name.

The St. Lawrence blues

Article Abstract:

The number of blue whales has been increasing more than any other animal on Earth. Richard Sears, the leader of the Mingan Island Cetacean Study, observed the presence of blue whales along the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 1976. He adapted the concept of photo-identification to the endangered blue whales and gathered reliable data on migration among the animals.
