Good news for anyone who woke up today looking for an email with a pop quiz about whales. You found it. Simply get all five questions correct in this test of your whale knowledge, and you’ll get a gold star and a fresh copy of The Whale Issue of The Flow Trip sent your way. Well, the first 10 people who do that correctly. Nothing crazy, just your general run of the mill household knowledge about cetaceans — which whale has the biggest brain, what’s a “white whale,” the first step in escaping if ever swallowed by one of the big guys, the name of the scientists who are trying to learn whale-talk, and a couple more. Just the basics. The whales wish you luck. The team from The Flow Trip wishes you luck, too, but it sounds more exciting coming from the free Willies of the world. More delights and cool places to explore and discover below. Thank you for being here.
