Как же живут и общаются между собой эти морские млекопитающие? Можем ли мы понять их язык? Как они строят свои семьи? Чем различаются рыбоядные и плотоядные косатки?

В наши дни, как выяснила популярная писательница Мэри Роуч, ответы нужно искать не в области юриспруденции, а в сфере науки—любопытнейшей дисциплины, изучающей конфликт человека и животных.
