There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Also, here's a pic from Mikhalev's book of Southern Hemisphere whales showing a female orca being weighed by a dynanometer.

Magnificent, so that means that the weight of 9.9 tons that you mention before is a real weight! Thank you very much for this information.
By the way, the copy of Tomilin's book, you have it in physical or in digital form? If you have it in digital, may you please share it?
