Dall's Porpoise - Nature's Blue-eyed Speed Racer
http://thewebsiteofeverything.com/we...s_porpoise.jpgThe Dall's Porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli) is an incredible swimmer with turquoise eyes and the ability to breathe air while rushing through the water at top speeds. These amazing porpoises love bow-riding, yet are shy around humans, and are some of the fastest mammals riding the waves in the North Pacific.
The Dall's porpoise is robust and muscular, particularly through the middle. The head is small and rounded, which makes it look smaller than it really is. The beak is small and poorly defined. The small mouth has a bit of an under bite, and their teeth are ideal for helping them hold on to the slippery prey. This animal looks a bit out of proportion because of an additional hump located on the bottom of the body. One of the amazing features of the Dall's porpoise is their colored eyes. The iris is black or dark blue with a deep, iridescent turquoise colored pupil. Their coloring is typically black on the top with white bellies and white sides. One of the smaller porpoises, males are typically 7.5 feet (2.29 meter) long while females are typically 6 feet (2.1 meters) long. Weights for both males and females are typically about 270 pounds (123 kg). They can get larger, however. The largest recorded to date weighed in at 480 pounds, or 220 kg. This amazing swimmer can only be seen in the wild in the North Pacific. Their territory ranges from Baja, California all the way to Alaska, through the Bering Sea and into the waters of Japan. They prefer the cooler temperatures of the water and typically stay where the water temperature is below 60 degrees F (15 C). The Dall's porpoise can go as fast as 30 knots. It loves bow-riding with fast vessels, but will avoid contact with the people on board. When dashing through the water its head and back move in unison to create a unique spray of water known as a "rooster tail". This movement actually creates a hollow cone in the water that will allow the porpoise to breathe without surfacing. They are not currently endangered, although they are in need of protection due to the growing fishing industry. Thousands of Dall's porpoises are caught in Japanese nets set out for salmon and squid. Other threats to this impressive swimmer include pollutants and other contaminants in the water. Steps are currently underway to protect this species and preserve it for the future. They dine on small fish; specifically squid, capelin, herring, and sardines. They also enjoy hake, smelts, and lantern fish. A largely nocturnal animal, it mainly feeds at night and will consume between 28 and 30 pounds (12.7 - 13.6 kg) per day. Natural predators of these porpoises include killer whales and sharks. However, they are able to use their small size and quick movements to their advantage as they escape these predators.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/anim...u8:gIN9vFwOqvQ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/animals/~4/pLpwFgELfKU More... |
Cima Rahmankhah
http://www.aadstatic.com/uploads/cim..._353345354.jpg
About Cima: Cima Rahmankhah was born and grew up in Iran. In 2000 she came to the US. She now lives in L.A. and will soon graduate with an M.F.A. from Art Center College of Design. Her work deals with the cultural, societal, and political stigmas assigned to individuals. Engaging the aesthetics of power structures, she analyzes, synthesizes, and compares how power shifts and mutates from culture to culture, from words to words, or from medium to medium. She is also very keen on integrating the conceptual with the narrative aspects of art—telling tales by means of ideal representations. Her work is itself a visual structure that she presents to the spectators so that they decipher the code and continue the story… She works in different media—painting, installation, video, etc. Her work has been shown in the U.S. and in other countries; and it has also been featured in the latest edition of New American Paintings. http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...Sipixp2Us/0/di http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/...Sipixp2Us/1/di http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...?d=yIl2AUoC8zA http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...Dc:F7zBnMyn0Lo http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...Dc:V_sGLiPBpWU http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...?d=qj6IDK7rITs http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/Arti...Dc:gIN9vFwOqvQ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Artis...~4/hA_8hjU_XZI More... |
