| Aug 10, 2016 at 21:16 | comment | added | Cody | @NexTerren the dictionaries are using a more layman defenition. Domesticated and tame are not interchangeable in a more scientific context. Consider this quote from Wikipedia, "A great difference exists between a tame animal and a domesticated animal. The term "domesticated" refers to an entire species or variety while the term "tame" can refer to just one individual within a species or variety. Humans have tamed many thousands of animals that have never been truly domesticated" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestication | |
| Aug 10, 2016 at 21:13 | comment | added | Twelfth | Yes, you are creating some pretty extended timelines in this...but if you can have several rotations of whales (something like 20% breeding, 80% growing...cycle the 20% every year over 5 years) | |

| Aug 10, 2016 at 20:05 | comment | added | Twelfth | A baby blue whale comes out at 5000-6000 lbs...that much food weight after a year long pregnancy is not bad, no? | |
