The Right Whale
This fascinating portrait of the rare
southern right whale results from years of study by Roger S. Payne, who
received a MacArthur Fellowship in November, 1984, in recognition of his
work as a zoologist and conservationist. He and his family lived in Argentina
by the whales' breeding and calving waters. They filmed from land, air,
water, and underwater, obtaining remarkable images of whale anatomy and
behavior. Often close-up and in slow-motion the whales feed, snore, mate
and play. Accompanied by Dr. Payne's informative narration, The Right
Whale provides an amazing glimpse of these beautiful, vanishing giants.
