Description

This National Geographic News resource features a photograph of a mother and baby killer whale, accompanied by brief information about the discovery that killer whales and bottlenose dolphin mothers and newborns stay awake for the first month of the babies' lives. The animals don't appear to suffer any ill effects from the lack of sleep, staying alert and in motion 24 hours a day. Links to more photos and stories are also found on this page.
