Particularly since<br />(i) he cites the mammalian characters standardly given to justify separating whales from "fish" and rejects them as irrelevant, and<br />(ii) having said that whales are fish he considers the question of how to distinguish whales from "other" fish and gives a definition ("a spouting fish with a horizontal tail) which (assuming he is right in his assertion that Sirenans don't spout) picks out precisely the Cetacea in extension!Allen Hazenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05098575774774203097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903316070344664352.post-78957652803029565382011-05-11T15:34:26.719-04:002011-05-11T15:34:26.719-04:00The unfortunate first expert reports that the carc...The unfortunate first expert reports that the carcass of Ataka couldn't be a whale seems to count for some people more than anything else. Because "it seems both foolish and arrogant to assume that amateur (or professional) marine biologists can ascertain from a single, grainy, black and white photo what top Egyptian scientists were not able to [...]" It is not known what the experts known at this time. But as I have shown only few days later the same experts identified the carcass as whale (<a href="http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?client=tmpg&hl=en&langpair=de%7Cen&rurl=translate.google.com&twu=1&u=http://www.kryptozoologie-online.de/Dracontologie/Salzwasserkryptide/ataka-kadaver.html" rel="nofollow">Ataka-Kadaver</a>)Markushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01408330385562338941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903316070344664352.post-31003404441429554622011-04-21T21:02:12.814-04:002011-04-21T21:02:12.814-04:00The top drawing is really great.
