Hi. First, the whales are adorable. However, when my 10-year old neighbor pulled them out of the box, her first words after her initials squeals of delight were that their flukes went in the wrong direction. She said that all whales have horizontal flukes, not vertical flukes. I tried to tell her that this was a special type of whale species but she studiously showed me that ALL whale species have horizontal flukes. This really isn't a problem and it doesn't make them any less adorable, but she did ask me to explain this anatomical mistake to you. Thanks for asking . . . and reading. Happy Thanksgiving. ; )
