should put him on the "Milk Yeah!" ads. The male whale is a bull, the 
     
     female a cow, and the young a calf. A group is a pod or a gam, so they 
     
     may be "heard" but not "herd". 
     
    

    
     The Norway, P.E.I. blue whale has been buried. It took 3 front-end 
     
     loaders and 2 bulldozers to do it. Possibly in 10 to 15 years you may 
     
     see the skeleton in the Natural History Museum in Ottawa. When it comes 
     
     to digging it up, I'd be a little nervous. There are likely to be some 
     
     huge well-fed "critters" under the sands by that time who will not be 
     
     inclined to "make no bones" about losing their own big blue whaleburger.
