Thumbs up

Eric and J.,
Could either of you recommend any good books on marine mammal physioligy? I know virtually nothing about the subject but I'm really interested in it.
Eric, I saw on a tv program recently that an emperor penguin can dive some 1500 ft and stay under for sixteen minutes. I now understand from your description of myoglobin why they can stay for so long, but how does their body cope with the pressure of a 1500 ft depth dive?
God bless,
Israel
