What is a cetacean? What does a cetologist study? How do you measure distances at sea, and what exactly does the Beaufort Scale classify? Elisabetta Mitrovic, alongside a team of cetologists — scientists who study marine mammals — set sail to observe whales, bottlenose dolphins, common dolphins, striped dolphins, pilot whales, Risso's dolphins, orcas, humpbacks, and sea turtles. Together, they tracked their movements and studied their morphology, communication, and survival strategies. This book is the result of their incredible journey across Mediterranean routes to discover the giants of the sea. Following In riva al mare and Rimanere sul sentiero, a new PiNO title invites you to set sail, find answers, and — if you’re lucky — end up with even more questions.
- identifying Mediterranean mammal species;
- understanding the growing threat of pollution to their survival;
- starting your adventure knowing where to look.
