Keep On, Keep On

No, nothing new to show this week...thus far.  I do have a work in progress, plus a few ideas on the way. Two of the few ideas revolve around commissions I have for a fundraising event. As soon as they are started, they will be posted, step by step! 

For now, check out a video from the American Museum of Natural History about how dolphins and whales might play with each other. Right, dolphins are whales (but not all whales are dolphins), as in they are all in the family Delphinidae, small whales within the suborder Odontoceti (toothed whales). Yes, Orcas, or Killer Whales, are the largest of the dolphins. No, Belugas are not dolphins, but they still are toothed whales.  Getting back to the point...

Bottlenose dolphins and humpback whales have been seen interacting with each other in the most unusual of ways around the Hawaiian islands. Photos have been taken of bottlenose dolphins seemingly taking rides on humpback whales out of the water. Scientists are attempting to decipher what exactly is happening. So far, conclusions point to simple enjoyment.
