I've seen some cetaceans while on a ferry crossing to Irish see, but what species they were I couldn't tell either dolphin or porpoise. I know I've seen a dolphin leap out of the sea, but that was the only time I knew the species. On one occasion I also saw a whale with a group of smaller cetaceans (either dolphins or porpoises). Any ideas of the toothed whale species likely to be found in the irish sea? I just know it had a noticeable melon. Anyway I would like to see are larger species of cetacean, especially orca or any of the baleen whale species. White-tailed eagles are also on my list. I also want to see a red kite fly over my house, I've seen them before at feeding stations in Wales, and over motorways, but I want to see one fly over my own home. |

so long as its a nice captive facility that I'm seeing the animals at, I don't feel the need to see animals in the wild but thats just me |

I never said I hate captivity, just that I enjoy seeing them in the wild more I've only ever seen dead cetaceans, which have washed up on my local beach. Several Harbour Porpoises, a White-beaked Dolphin and a Sperm Whale, to be precise (and an Ocean Sunfish, but that's not a cetacean )

That's pretty damn cool, even though they're dead... Sperm whale must've been impressive ![]() I have seen live cetaceans, a couple of harbour porpoises in Norway, but that was more than ten years ago. ![]() We regularly have red kites over the house / garden, they're nesting somewhere not too far from us ![]() Regarding the topic title, I'm good with saying I haven't seen 99.9% of all animal species

Yeah, it was massive news when it washed up on our local beach in fact they made a documentary about its dissection, and most of the town were allowed to watch it from a distance

Reminds me of the fin whale that washed up here a couple years ago. I managed to have a close look at it, thanks to my dad who works at the Natural Park. |

its literally impossible to see every species there is every "major grouping", thats a mighty bit easier Edited by stargatedalek, Jul 7 2014, 05:08 PM.

Especially if you include invertebrate species, you'll die of old age before you see every single insect species, plus many insects don't have common names. |

I'd love to see baleen whales. Never seen an orca either, though preferably I'd rather see those in the wild. |
