Amateur sea mammal researcher Scott Tucker recently announced the upcoming publication of a free report intended to educate readers about all of the latest information about orcas available from marine biologists and other wildlife scientist. Tucker says that the report will focus on orcas, but that there will also be information about other sea mammals such as humpback whales and sperm whales.
According to Scott Tucker the free report will be part of an effort to publicize a new site to be launched later this year.
“There are many reasons that I’m working on this report,” says Scott Tucker. “The logical, business reason that justifies all of the time and effort I’ve spent on this is that I will be growing an audience for when I launch more products in the future, but it would also be fair to say that this is a work of passion.”
Scott Tucker reports that there is new information and new discoveries about orcas being made every year. Tucker points to the recent sighting of a 103-year-old killer whale as evidence that scientists are always learning more about sea mammals, and that there are many questions about the lives of whales that remain unanswered.
In addition to recent research on orcas, the upcoming report will also contain basic information about both cetacean (toothed whales) and baleen (filter feeding) whales.
“While I want to introduce the latest research on orcas, I also want there to be context for readers who may not be completely familiar with sea mammals,” says Scott Tucker. “To appreciate what scientists have learned recently, it’s important to know the history of the research and have a basic understanding of the animals.”
Although Scott Tucker conducts his own investigation off of the coast of Northern California, his upcoming report relies on published research from professional marine biologists. Tucker says that he hopes to contribute some original research of his own to the existing body of knowledge in the near future.
