What a pity about this display. Some years ago I saw a documentary on (I think) pilot whales. The paritcular pod which the scientists were following exhibited the following behaviours, which were really interesting to me: The young whales were put into creche groups and babysat while their mothers went off to catch fish. Adolescent male whales took their turns at this childcare (!!!). One of the whales, the grandmother, was observed regularly suckling her grand daughter while her daughter went for food. The young whales were suckled for something like several years. I saw this a while ago and I think it got recorded over on the video, but it is nice to know that these behaviours are being carefully observed (to put our mammalian experiences into some kind of perspective) and that they were included in a very positive way in this programme. (Although, wouldn't you know, of the team of scientists, the one reporting on these behaviours was the woman. Although, then again, maybe this is a case of life informing research.) Maybe the Aquarium would be receptive to having information which is species-appropriate for this display.
