Wait, I just had a look at the wiki for whales, and I saw this:
[CHILD:1]
So that means whales stop being childs after one year?

I sense a potential whale breeding program ahead...

[Max White]

Yes, that's right! You too can breed whales in the confined area about the size of a bedroom! There's no logical falsity, just dwarf logic!

[Demonic Spoon]

We must have, WHALE FORTRESS! Watch out for raids from the japanese.

[pushy]

Fine, I shall do something FOR MYSELF for once! But don't expect me to do my own laundry too, for god sake.

... I would never in my life touch the laundry of someone who is learning to butcher whales.

I mean. It'd be more like washing your clothes away from the blubber pile!

You might find it worth it, actually...if there happens to be any vomit on his clothes, you can sell it to a perfume company Ambergris is rather pricey

That'd be a really good use for the "extract from live fish" task at the fishery. 1 whale yields 10 ambergris which can be changed into perfume at an alchemist's lab. I just hope dwarves don't try to drink the stuff.

Since perfume typically has alcohol in it, I would not put it past them. They're dwarves, after all.

"GODDAMN WHARE ANd DORPHIN!!!"

[Asra]

So is anyone else planning on flooding a small area and creating a whale farm?

[tbino]

can we get the world gen info for this world?

Whales:
The new mermaids of 2010:
Now farmed in a confined space for their delicious corpses.

This raises several questions...

• How much meat do whale calves yield?
• Can you air drown whales?
• If so, can they survive in 4/7 water? In fresh water? (Apparently so, but we need to know... For science!)
• If you drop a whale from a 100 z-level tall tower, does it ask the Earth if it will be friends with him before he hits the ground?

Yea, it means that they grow to adults after one year.

[shadowform]

Do you have a fishery operation set up?  Perhaps whales are tagged as normal fish now?

How much are whale bones worth? You may get the same value from the quantity of whale crafts as you would from the quality of mermaid crafts.

[zourath]

If he is on a beach, water tends to move constantly there. Combined with the fact that water flows faster now, the whales where probably beached and possibly even smashed on a cliff.
