Special report: MiniMonos team goes Whale Watching!

Ok, so you know how we told you last Talk Tuesday, that we went somewhere really special last week?  Here it is!!

Check out what we saw on our amazing day out on the ocean:





A huge thanks to Whale Watch Kaikoura for showing us incredible whales in your amazing back yard! We're so impressed with how you clean up trash in the sea and are very careful not to disturb the whales as they feed, breathe and rest.

So, you know how we said we'd be asking some research questions?  Whoever answers these will get a huge SHOUT OUT in Talk Tuesday tomorrow and MiniMonosTV!  Here are Hatman's questions:

1) The whales in the video are part of the Physeteroidea family. What is interesting about these whales' eyes?

2) What is echolocation and what do these whales use it for?

3) Why were there only male whales in Kaikoura?


We have another totally awesome sea creature to show you in our next special report!  Can you guess what it could be? Clue: this sea creatures' babies are SO CUTE!
