minkes really are whales and for allowing me extra 

 time to see whether they really do anything besides 

 breathe. This study was made possible in part by 

 funding for data management provided by the U.S. 

 National Marine Fisheries Service (Northeast Fish- 

 eries Center) under contract 50-EANF-9-00033.
