Whaleopedia will be a great asset for anyone who wants to learn about these fascinating animals—from teachers, to students, to those who just want to see the incredible variation among cetaceans. The text in Whaleopedia was written by world-renowned marine mammal expert Ken. Balcomb, and the artwork depicting each animal was created by Larry Foster, long recognized as the world's finest cetacean artist. This site is essentially an updated and expanded version of The World's Whales, a best-selling guide to whales, dolphins and porpoises, published by Smithsonian Books, and compiled and co-authored by Animal Fund president Stan Minasian and Ken Balcomb, with artwork by Larry Foster.
Whaleopedia utilizes the large media library of Animal Fund as its base, but also embeds hundreds of unique photographs and video clips from photographers and videographers around the world, making it the one-stop shopping site for entering and learning about the world of whales, dolphins and porpoises.
Animal Fund is a 40-year old non-profit organization concentrating on public education of animals, both wild and domestic, and the environment. Whaleopedia is but one of Animal Fund's public education projects.
The Fund is looking for corporate sponsors to promote the site worldwide.
