To hunt a species to extinction
is not logical.
:49:08
Whoever said the human race
was logical?
:49:12
If you'll follow me, I'll introduce you
to the institute's pride and joy.

This is the largest
seawater tank in the world.
:49:32
It contains the only
two humpback whales in captivity.
:49:42
They are mature humpbacks
weighing 45,000 pounds each.
:49:48
They wandered into San Francisco Bay
as calves and were brought here.
:49:52
We call them George and Gracie.
:49:57
It's perfect.
A male and female in a tank.
:50:01
We can beam them up together.
:50:09
Beautiful, aren't they?
And extremely intelligent.
:50:13
If you'll follow me, please.
:50:20
Despite all they're teaching us,
we have to return them to the open sea.
:50:26
We simply don't have enough money
to feed them two tons of shrimp a day.
:50:33
- How soon?
- Soon.
:50:36
It's too bad, because
they're really quite friendly.
:50:39
I've grown quite attached to them.
:50:45
Now here's a much better way to see
George and Gracie. Underwater.
