Other types of dolphins seems to be able to adjust a little better to shifting amounts of salt in the water. I have no clue about the larger whales but I suspect they have problems with fresh water because they wont float as easy in it.
Only american lives sadly. The rest of us have always been expendable.
I do feel sorry for the american people. It seems you are gonna get the same treatment as the rest of the worlds underdogs now.
Just hope eXXon doesn’t find oil under your house.
