Focusing on six groups of whales: Right Whales, Belugas, Orcas, Sperm Whales, Humpbacks, and Dolphins, Skerry gives us a rare glimpse of the whales personal world and intimate moments. Right Whales, so named because they were the right whale to hunt are among the most endangered. Through pictures we are able to see their curious and sensitive nature. The Belugas' tight knit social structure, use of language and care of their young is displayed with this playful and charismatic species. Orcas are clever, strategic and organized with distinct feeding plans in each population. Sperm Whales are caring with highly developed societies and tight knit family groups as well as expressive as they are the largest brained animal. Humpbacks carry out singing contests and prefer to group feed even though they are capable of feeding alone. Dolphins are smart, charismatic and playful. They need a social structure, can solve complex problems, show self awareness and use tools. Through these photographs we are reminded that we are more similar to these great creatures than different and we should strive to change our actions in order to protect our oceans and the many species that call it home.
