'''Whale''' is the common name for [[marine mammal]]s of the order [[Cetacea]]. The term ''whale'' is sometimes used to refer to all cetaceans, but in more common English usage it generally excludes the members of the [[Delphinoidea]] superfamily, such as [[dolphins]] and [[porpoises]].<ref>http://www.acsonline.org/education/taxonomy.html</ref> These smaller species belong to the suborder Odontoceti ([[toothed whale]]s), which also includes the [[sperm whale]], [[killer whale]], [[pilot whale]], and [[beluga whale]]. The other suborder of cetaceans, Mysticeti ([[baleen whale]]s), includes the [[blue whale]], which is the [[largest organism|largest animal]] known to have ever existed, the [[humpback whale]], and many other animals that feed by straining seawater through long strips of [[baleen]] that they have in the place of teeth, and from which they get their name.


For centuries, whales have been hunted for meat and as a source of raw materials. By the middle of the 20th century, however, industrial whaling had left many species seriously [[endangered species|endangered]], and whaling was ended in all but a few countries. Several organizations have been founded to try to eliminate hunting of whales and other threats to whales' survival.<ref>{{cite web
'''Scott Thompson''' (born February 25, 1965), better known by his stage name '''Carrot Top''', is an [[United States|American]] [[comedian]] known for his bright red hair, [[prop comedy]] and often [[self-deprecating]] humor. As of July 2008, he is headlining at the [[Luxor Hotel]] in [[Las Vegas Strip|Las Vegas]], [[Nevada]]. Scott last lived in Winter Park, Florida, just outside Orlando. Most recently he is known for his dramatic muscle gain and facial change.<ref>http://www.tmz.com/2007/01/19/a-man-with-two-faces/</ref><ref>http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/2008/09/07/the-many-faces-of-carrot-top/</ref>

Carrot Top also lived in nearby [[Orlando, Florida|Orlando]] during part of his youth. In 1983, he graduated from high school, and enrolled later that year at [[Florida Atlantic University]] in [[Boca Raton, Florida|Boca Raton]]. While still a freshman at Florida Atlantic, Mr. Top appeared in his first stand-up comedy routine with Josh Abelson.<ref name="bio">{{cite web | author= | title=Carrot Top Biography | url=http://www.carrottop.com/newcarrot/bio/index.html | publisher=carrottop | date=2008 | accessdate=2008-07-19 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20061128013802/http://www.carrottop.com/newcarrot/bio/index.html |archivedate=2006-11-28}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | author=Cocoa High School - Cocoa, FL | title=Thompson, Scott (1983) Profile | url=http://www.alumnivillage.com/profile_view.asp?a=1902&s=1 | publisher=Alumni Village | date=2008 | accessdate=2008-07-19}}</ref> Two months later, he performed on campus at an open-mic night.

|Evolution of cetaceans |List of whale species}}
All [[cetacea]]ns, including whales, dolphins and porpoises, are descendants of land-living [[mammal]]s of the [[Artiodactyl]] [[order (biology)|order]] (even-toed ungulate animals). Both cetaceans and artiodactyl are now classified under the super-order [[Cetartiodactyla]] which includes both whales and [[hippopotamuses]]. In fact, whales are the closest living relatives of hippos; they evolved from a [[Most recent common ancestor|common ancestor]], the [[Indohyus]], an approximately 48-million-year-old even-toed [[ungulate]] from the [[Kashmir]] region of [[India]], around 54 million years ago.<ref name=science_news>{{cite web

Cetaceans are divided into two suborders:
*The [[baleen whale]]s are characterized by [[baleen]], a sieve-like structure in the upper jaw made of [[keratin]], which they use to filter [[plankton]] from the water. They are the largest whale suborder.
*The [[toothed whale]]s use sharp teeth and prey on fish, squid, or both. An outstanding ability of this group is to sense their surrounding environment through [[animal echolocation|echolocation]].
A complete up-to-date taxonomical listing of all [[cetacea]]n species, including all whales, is maintained at the [[Cetacea]] article.


==Career==
==Anatomy==
Like all mammals, whales breathe air into lungs, are [[endotherm|warm-blooded]], feed their young [[milk]] from [[mammary gland]]s, and have hair, although very little.
Carrot Top has appeared in the television programs: ''[[Larry the Cable Guy|Larry the Cable Guy's Christmas Spectacular]]'' , ''[[Gene Simmons Family Jewels]]'', ''[[Space Ghost Coast To Coast]]'', ''[[Criss Angel Mindfreak]]'', ''[[Scrubs (tv series)|Scrubs]]'' (2006), and ''Tugger: The Jeep 4x4 Who Wanted to Fly'' (2005). He has also appeared on [[The George Lopez Show]], [[Howard Stern]], [[Jimmy Kimmel]], [[Craig Ferguson]], [[Don't Forget the Lyrics]], [[Live with Regis & Kelly]] and [[The Tonight Show]]. His movie roles include the [[1998 film]] ''[[Chairman of the Board (movie)|Chairman of The Board]]'', and served as a spokesman in commercials for [[1-800-CALL-ATT]]. From 1995 to 1999, he was the [[continuity announcer]] for [[Cartoon Network]]. In 2002, he recorded a commentary track for the [[Roger Avary]] film ''[[The Rules of Attraction (film)|The Rules of Attraction]].'' In 2006, Carrot Top appeared in the [[Reno 911!]] episode "Weigel's Pregnant" as an enraged version of himself who trashed his hotel room and resisted arrest. In 2008, he was a guest judge for NBC's ''[[Last Comic Standing]]'' in a contest where the participants had to perform [[prop comedy]] at a [[Bed, Bath and Beyond]] utilizing store items with only an hour to prepare.


The whale body is [[fusiform]]. The forelimbs, also called flippers, are paddle-shaped. The end of the tail holds the fluke, or tail fins, which provide propulsion by vertical movement, unlike the horizontal movement of the tails of fish. Although whales generally do not possess hind limbs, some whales (such as [[sperm whale]]s and [[baleen whale]]s) have rudimentary hind limbs; even with feet and digits, hidden deep within their bodies. Most species of whale bear a fin on their backs known as a [[dorsal fin]].
Carrot Top produced and starred in an early morning show on [[Cartoon Network]] called ''Carrot Top's AM Mayhem'' from 1994-1996.<ref>{{cite web | author= | title=Carrot Top | url=http://www.comedycentral.com/comedians/browse/c/carrot_top.jhtml | work=Comedy Central | date= | accessdate=2008-07-19}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=Carrot Top Biography | url=http://www.filmreference.com/film/48/Carrot-Top.html | work=filmreference | date=2008 | accessdate=2008-07-06}}</ref>

Beneath the skin lies a layer of fat called [[blubber]]. It serves as an energy reservoir and also as [[Thermal insulation|insulation]]. Whales have a four-chambered heart. Whales have spines, although the neck [[vertebrae]] are typically fused, which provides stability during swimming at the expense of flexibility. They have a [[vestigial structure|vestigial]] pelvis bone.

Whales breathe through their [[blowhole (biology)|blowholes]], located on the top of the head so the animal can remain submerged while breathing. [[Baleen whale]]s have two; [[toothed whale]]s have one. Breathing involves expelling excess water from the blowhole, forming a vertical spout. Spout shapes differ between species and learning to recognize these shapes help people identify them.

The [[Blue Whale]] is the largest known mammal that has ever lived, and the largest living animal, at up to 35&nbsp;m (105&nbsp;ft) long and 150 tons.

Whales generally live for 40–90 years,{{Citation needed|date=March 2008}} depending on their species, and on rare occasions live over a century. Recently a fragment of a lance which had been used by commercial whalers in the 19th century was found in a [[bowhead whale]] off Alaska, showing the whale to be between 115 and 130 years old.<ref>{{cite web

Whale flukes often can be used as identifying markings, as is the case for [[humpback whale]]s. This is the method by which the famous [[Humphrey the whale]] was identified in three separate sightings.

Toothed whales such as the sperm whale, possess teeth with [[cementum]] cells overlying [[dentine]] cells. Unlike human teeth which are comprised mostly of [[Tooth enamel|enamel]] on the tooth portion outside of the gum, whale teeth have cementum outside the gum. Only in larger whales does enamel show where the cementum has been worn away on the tip of the tooth.<ref>"Common Characteristics of Whale Teeth" [http://www.antiquescrimshaw.org/index.htm here]</ref>

===Anatomy of the ear===
{{See also|Evolution of cetaceans}}
Whales' ears have specific adaptations to their underwater environment. In humans, the [[middle ear]] works as an impedance matcher between the outside air’s low [[impedance]] and the [[cochlea]]r fluid’s high impedance. In aquatic mammals such as whales, however, there is no great difference between the outer and inner environments. Instead of sound passing through outer ear to middle ear, whales receive sound through their throat, from which it passes through a low-impedance, fat-filled cavity to the inner ear.<ref>

==Behavior==

{{see also|Cetacean intelligence}}

[[File:Humpback stellwagen edit.jpg|thumb |right |A Humpback Whale breaching.|alt=Photo of humpback whale with most of its body out of the water and its pectoral fins extended]]
Whales are widely classed as [[predator]]s, but their food ranges from microscopic [[plankton]] to very large fish and, in the case of [[orcas]], sometimes other sea mammals, even other whales. Whales such as humpbacks and blues eat only in arctic waters, eating mostly [[krill]], which they swallow with enormous amounts of seawater, excreting the water through their baleen plates, while retaining the krill.<ref name=po/>

Whales do not drink seawater, instead indirectly extracting it from their food by metabolizing fat.<ref name=po/>

Males are called bulls; females, cows. The young are called calves.

Many whales also exhibit other [[Whale surfacing behaviour|surfacing behaviours]] such as breaching and tail slapping.

Because of their environment (and unlike many animals), whales are conscious breathers: they decide when to breathe. All mammals [[sleep]], but whales cannot afford to become unconscious for too long because they might drown. It is thought that only one hemisphere of whale brains sleeps at a time, so that whales are never completely asleep, but still get necessary rest. Whales often sleep with only one eye closed.{{Citation needed|date=July 2008}}

Some whales communicate with each other using lyrical sounds, called [[whale song]]s. These sounds can be extremely loud (depending on the species); sperm whales have only been heard making clicks, because toothed whales ([[Odontoceti]]) use [[animal echolocation|echolocation]] and can be heard for many miles. They can generate about 20,000 acoustic watts of sound at 163 decibels.<ref>{{cite web
|url=http://www.makeitlouder.com/Decibel%20Level%20Chart.txt
|title=Table of sound decibel levels
|accessdate=2006-09-14}}</ref>

Females give birth to a single calf. Nursing time is more than one year in many species, which is associated with a strong bond between mother and young. Reproductive maturity occurs typically at seven to ten years. This [[K selection|mode of reproduction]] spawns few offspring, but provides each with high survival probability.

The male genitals retract into body cavities during swimming, reducing drag and preventing injury. Most whales do not maintain fixed partnerships during mating; in many species the females have several mates each season. Newborns are delivered tail-first, minimizing the risk of drowning. Whale cows nurse by actively squirting milk so fatty that it has the consistency of [[toothpaste]] into the mouths of their young.<ref name=po>

===Whaling===
{{Main|Whaling}}

the [[Arctic]].]]

Some species of large whales are listed by various [[interest group|watchdog groups]] and governments as endangered due to reduced population resulting from commercial whaling. Large whales have been hunted commercially for [[whale oil]], [[whale meat|meat]], [[baleen]] and [[ambergris]] (a perfume ingredient from the [[intestine]] of [[sperm whale]]s) since the 1600s.<ref>http://www.whaling.jp/english/history.html</ref> More than 2 million whales were killed by the modern whaling industry in the early 20th century.<ref>[http://ca.encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761565254_6/Whale.html Whale]. Microsoft Encarta Online Encyclopedia 2009.</ref> By the middle of the 20th century, whaling left many populations severely depleted.

The [[International Whaling Commission]] introduced a six year moratorium on all commercial whaling in 1986, which extends to the present day. The moratorium is not absolute, however, and some whaling continues under the auspices of research or [[Aboriginal whaling|aboriginal rights]]; current whaling nations are [[Norway]], [[Iceland]] and [[Japan]] and the aboriginal communities of [[Siberia]], [[Alaska]] and northern [[Canada]].

Several species of small whales are caught as [[bycatch]] in fisheries for other species. In the Eastern Tropical [[Pacific]] [[tuna]] fishery, thousands of dolphins drowned in purse-seine nets, until preventive measures were introduced. Gear and deployment modifications, and [[eco-labelling]] (''dolphin-safe'' or ''dolphin-friendly'' brands of tuna), have contributed to a reduction in dolphin mortality by tuna vessels. In many countries, small whales are still hunted for food, oil, meat or bait.

===Sonar interference===
{{See also|Marine Mammals and Sonar}}
Environmentalists speculate that [[sonar]] used by advanced navies endangers some cetaceans, including whales. In 2003 British and Spanish scientists suggested in ''[[Nature (journal)|Nature]]'' that sonar is connected to whale beachings and to signs that the beached whales have experienced decompression sickness.<ref>{{cite web

|pages=716–718}}</ref>

Mass [[beached whale|whale beaching]]s occur in many species, mostly beaked whales that use echolocation for deep diving. The frequency and size of beachings around the world, recorded over the last 1,000 years in religious tracts and more recently in scientific surveys, has been used to estimate the population of various whale species by assuming that the proportion of the total whale population beaching in any one year is constant. Beached whales can give other clues about population conditions, especially medical conditions. For example, bleeding around ears, internal lesions, and nitrogen bubbles in organ tissue suggest that whales are in fact not immune to the [[Decompression sickness|bends]].<ref name=wwwu/>

Following public concern, the U.S. Defense department was ordered by the 9<sup>th</sup> Circuit Court to strictly limit use of its [[Low Frequency Active Sonar]] during peacetime. Attempts by the UK-based [[Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society]] to obtain a [[public inquiry]] into the possible dangers of the [[Royal Navy]]'s equivalent (the "[[Sonar 2087|2087]]" sonar launched in December 2004) have failed as of 2008. The [[European Parliament]] has requested that EU members refrain from using the powerful sonar system until an environmental impact study has been carried out.

===Other environmental disturbances===
{{seealso|Cetacean bycatch}}
Other human activities have been suggested by Marine Biologists to adversely impact whale populations, such as the unregulated use of fishing gear which catches anything that swims into it, collisions with ships and propellers, and waste contaminants.

==Whales in culture==
[[File:Nantucket historical assocation whaling museum weather vane.jpg|right |thumb |Whale weather-vane atop the Nantucket Historical Association Whaling Museum displaying a [[Sperm Whale]].]]
Whales are frequently portrayed in literature as violent creatures that attack shipping and kill or eat sailors, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, particularly in literature written prior to the modern scientific study of the creatures, or in period literature. A common whale-themed [[plot device]] concerns mariners who are swallowed whole by a whale, and find themselves trapped alive in the creature's belly. In some instances, the victims of these encounters escape, often by causing the whale sufficient gastronomic distress that it is forced to expel them; in cases, the victim is doomed.

===In religion===
Portrayals of whales or whaling in religion include:

*The [[King James Version of the Bible]] mentions whales four times: "And God created great whales" ([[Book of Genesis|Genesis]] 1:21); "Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? ([[Book of Job|Job]] 7:12); "Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas ([[Ezekiel]] 32:2); and "For as Jonas [sic] was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" ([[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]] 12:40).
**The story of [[Jonah]] being swallowed by a whale also is mentioned in the [[Qur'an]].
**[[John Tavener]]'s composition ''[[The Whale (Tavener)|The Whale]]'' is based on the story of Jonah.
*Some cultures associate [[divinity]] with whales, such as among [[Ghana]]ians and [[Vietnamese people|Vietnamese]], who occasionally hold funerals for beached whales, a throwback to Vietnam's ancient sea-based Austro-asiatic culture. The movie [[Whale Rider]] follows the trials of a girl named Paikia, who lives in such a culture, the [[Maouri]] of New Zealand.

Carrot Top has also been frequently parodied. Such examples include Mr. Show (in which David Cross appears as "Blueberry Head"), King of the Hill ("Celery Head"), "Scrubs" (My Balancing Act), Family Guy ("Carrot Scalp"; he also made a guest appearance on the show as himself in the episode "Petergeist"), and MADtv ("Broccoli Top").

As of 2008 he headlines at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, and performs various comedy gigs when his show is not playing.[1] His comedy routine incorporates dozens of props stored in large trunks on stage; his prop jokes commonly consist simply of him pulling out a prop, describing it in a one-liner, and tossing it away. Many of his props are specially built objects.

On January 16, Carrot Top appeared on the Fox reality game show "Don't Forget The Lyrics!" where he assisted illusionists Penn & Teller in their quest for the million dollar grand prize. He was also one of the roasters at the Comedy Central "Roast of Flavor Flav" and "Gene Simmons Roast". He appeared on an episode in Season Two of Mind Freak and has been a regular guest on the show every season since. He also appeared in an episode of the reality series The Bad Girls Club.
