Úrtak
Tann 18. november 1989 løgdu 8 hvalir
beinini í Havn - allir vóru hannhvalir.
Hvalimir vóm millum 324 og 564 cm til
longdar og 10 og 24 ára gamlir, ein 3 ára
gamal hvølpur tó undantikin. Seks vóm
kynsbúnir, meðan tveir vóru óbúnir. Frá-
greiðing um tilburðin og úrslitini av kann-
ingi av hesum bólki av hannhvalum er
viðgjørd við atliti til, hvat vit halda ella vita
stavar frá atburðinum hjá grindahvali.
Tilburðurin er serstakliga áhugaverdur av
tí, at hann vísir, at hann- og honhvalir av og
á ferðast í serskildum bólkum. Hetta kann
samstundis geva eina ábending um, hví
kynsbýtið í grindabólkum tíðum vísir yvir-
vág av honhvalum.
