This is not a classic program & the people chasing the whalers really dont have any clue about cultural or religious aspects on why the Japanese or other cultures eat things that we wouldnt.

The Whale Drum (aka Tongue / Slit drum) is one of the world's oldest known instruments. Tongue drums are found around the globe in various cultures spreading from Africa, Asia to South America. The drums were originally made from holly piece of wood, which were struck to make tones. It is one of the few instruments considered older the the human voice itself. Tonehammer decided to (re)visit this majestic instrument and deep-sample it once and for all. The end-result is a massive sample library containing over 3100 samples, following our standard 10/10 (10 velocity layers / 10 repetition).
We primarily sampled our high-end whale drum in a dry studio environment with mallets and brushes. We sampled its each note, at both center and rim positions. We also captured sticks and brushes on multiple surfaces over the whole drum. We also extensively sampled it naturally "wet" in our classic epic hall and also created a variety of artificially wet patches, b using choice selections from our custom convolution impulse catalog. We did every humane and inhumane thing with this ancient instrument, resulting in the most comprehensive sample set ever done of any tongue based drum.

The stars of the movie, Stan Waterman, Peter Gimbel, and the Taylor’s are icons in the diving and underwater film making business. This is the first movie of Great White sharks and the lengths to which these people went to film them are astounding. These adventurers went out in the middle of the Indian Ocean, parked themselves next to a sperm whale carcass, and got up close and personal with large oceanic sharks at feeding time. They also went to the Hermes wreck at 180 feet and off the coast of Dangerous Reef in the Sourthern Ocean – no dive computers, no DAN to evac you out, and never quite knowing what to expect. This is a true life adventure caught on tape when diving really was by the seat of your pants. If you are a diver or adventurer you must see this film.

Featuring both material from the popular Eye Wonder series, along with a wealth of all-new spreads, Animals Around the World teaches readers about animal habitats and habits, as well as anatomy, behavior, communication, hunting, feeding, conservation, and the relationship between people and animals. The whole animal kingdom is covered, from tiny invertebrates to the biggest creature on Earth, the blue whale.

As an air-breathing animal, the human is not built to survive in water. But people have found ways to live an almost aquatic life so they can exploit the sea's riches. From a 'shark-whisperer' in the Pacific to Brazilian fishermen collaborating with dolphins to catch mullet, this journey into the blue reveals astonishing tales of ingenuity and bravery. Daredevil Galician barnacle-collectors defy death on the rocks for a catch worth 200 pounds per kilo. In Indonesia an epic whale-hunt, using traditional hand-made boats and harpoons, brings in a sperm whale. The Bajau 'sea gypsies' of the Sulu Sea spend so much time on water they get 'land sick' when they set foot on the land! We dive 40 metres down to the dangerous world of the Pa-aling fishermen, where dozens of young men, breathing air through a tangled web of pipes attached to a diesel engine, capture thousands of fish in a vast net. We see how surfing has its origins in the ancient beliefs of the ocean-loving Polynesians, and we join a Borneo free-diving spear-fisherman on a breath-taking journey 20 metres down in search of supper.
