Don't get me wrong, I respect whales. But I also find them kind of terrifying.

They give me alien vibes. It doesn't help that some eassentially have hair for teeth and are the size of a battleship.

    No, they're incredibly beautiful creatures and I weep terribly for how we've mistreated them for so long

    They talk to each other. They have names they refer to each other with and form large family groups. I honestly feel they should be afforded the same basic rights as human beings, just to criminalize bringing harm to them internanationally.

      It's true the international ban on whaling is only from the late 80s. I feel like it's something people think has been around for a hundred years but no, like only one generation of whales has ever been not hunted by humans.

      Not to mention the barbarous countries that never stopped hunting whales, Norway and Japan.

        In fact the decade with the most killed whales in history was the 1960s

    Most of these are rad, though the hair teeth in 2 and the eye placement on the first one are both creepy

    All cetaceans are cool but sperm whales have weird eyes. I feel like they are in the wrong place but looking at them there really isn't a right place either.

    Also a lot of whales are like 1/3 head by body length and that gives me the heebie-jeebies. Those kind of proportions should be reserved for adorable animals that fit in your shirt pocket.

    I definitely love whales, but they do look pretty creepy. Also, fuck killer whales / orcas - they are not whales, they are assholes.
