+ add your ownObservational study is fine, so long as they employ the dictum my mother gave me as a child, "look but don't touch."
I see nothing wrong with scientists attempting to study him--if people like them hadn't taken an interest in orcas and other cetaceans in the first place, we would still know next to nothing about these amazing creatures. They aren't going to hurt him; these are people with experience in studying the movements and behavior of cetaceans without interfering in their lives or causing them stress.
Have there been any new developments on this, I wonder? I first read this story over a year ago, but have heard nothing about Iceberg since...
Wow, I hope the Japanese ships dont find him.
Poor creature!
Poor creature!
What a beauty.
I hope he remains elusive.
A new Moby Dick? No, please, no, let it live in peace!
Very cool!
Leave the creature alone. They will probably only stress if if they find her or stress the whole system in the attempt.
