UL (upper-left) and LL: "The False Killer Whale (Pseudorca crassidens) is a cetacean, and the third largest member of the oceanic dolphin family (Delphinidae).
It lives in temperate and tropical waters throughout the world.
As its name implies, the False Killer Whale shares characteristics such as appearance with the more widely known Orca (killer whale).
Like the orca, the False Killer Whale attacks and kills other cetaceans.
However, the two dolphin species are not closely related.
The False Killer Whale is black with a grey throat and neck.
It has a slender body with an elongated tapered head and 44 teeth.
The dorsal fin is sickle-shaped and its flippers are narrow, short and pointed.
It can grow up to 20 feet."
UR and LR: "The killer whale (Orcinus orca), commonly referred to as the orca, and less commonly as the blackfish, is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family."
"The term whale sometimes refers to all cetaceans, but more often it excludes dolphins and porpoises[2], which belong to suborder Odontoceti (toothed whales)."
"Killer whales are found in all oceans, from the frigid Arctic and Antarctic regions to tropical seas.
Killer whales as a species have a diverse diet, although individual populations often specialize in particular types of prey.
Some feed exclusively on fish, while others hunt marine mammals such as sea lions, seals, walruses and even large whales.
Killer whales are regarded as apex predators, lacking natural predators and preying even [on] large sharks."
Trainer-killing orca Tilikum back in SeaWorld show
I think that's a BAD idea, both for the safety of future trainers of Tilikum and others, and for the whole idea of confining big dolphins in small swimming pools.
They deserve large spaces to live properly.

"São Tomé and Príncipe, officially the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe, is a Portuguese-speaking island nation in the Gulf of Guinea, off the western equatorial coast of Central Africa.
It consists of two islands: São Tomé and Príncipe, located about 140 kilometres (87 mi) apart and about 250 and 225 kilometres (155 and 140 mi), respectively, off the northwestern coast of Gabon.
Both islands are part of an extinct volcanic mountain range. São Tomé, the sizable southern island, is situated just north of the equator.
It was named in honour of Saint Thomas by Portuguese explorers who happened to arrive at the island on his feast day.
São Tomé and Príncipe is the second-smallest African country in terms of population (the Seychelles being the smallest).
It is the smallest country in the world that is not a former British overseas territory, a former United States trusteeship, or one of the European microstates.
It is also the smallest Portuguese-speaking country."

Time for a stretch.
Today, let's make a stretch and pretend that we see a heart shape in the UL maximum card, behind the False Killer Whale.
Let's say that we see a heart formed by the water, with a little tsunami overwhelming half of that heart, if you see what I mean.
Metaphorically-speaking, today the heart of Japan is overwhelmed; half by the tsunami, half by the earthquake.
On top of that, radiation is spreading.
They'll have to build a deep-concrete sarcophagus, like in Chernobyl.

A fatal, supercritical mistake with The Demon Core:
Enjoy while you can, whatever you enjoy! Vita brevis...
