Welcome to NATURE on the Web. Each week, we present a Web piece based on the program scheduled to be aired on PBS. Currently, NATURE dives to the depths of the sea with SPERM WHALES, massive marine mammals that inhabit the world's oceans. |

Learn the facts behind the mystique of the sperm whale, the mammal immortalized by Herman Melville in MOBY DICK. In a special Q & A interview, meet whale researcher Jonathan Gordon, who sails around the world in search of these great beasts. Investigate one of the fascinating ways sperm whale families interact and communicate with each other. And don't miss the Web links, books, and print articles in our Resources section. Be sure to check out the broadcast schedule for the 1997-1998 season, give us your feedback about the Web site and the programs in Dear NATURE, see the winners from our Contests for Kids, and try to solve our NATURE Puzzles.
