Thanks so much for the help Void. I'm looking at this body of water called the "Pacific Ocean" which appears even larger than your space. I think I'll get the whales from a breeder.

 

That is my space.

You should double check with Dr. VoidElecent about this, but is it true that Pinkomyrmex species LOVE this music?

They don't "LOVE" this music, although they do tolerate it. They are, in fact, particularly fond of this music.

Sounds good luck. I'm looking forward to see how it goes.

Hey guys- would I be able to keep my blues in the arctic/pacific ocean border? Thanks in advance.

 

Oh, and yes, I have 79 permits.

You actually only need a couple square feet for a blue whale farm, but you could definitely share some of my space if you'd like. I'm sure Nathan wouldn't have a problem, either. Glad you have the permits, that's the tedious part.

Martialis I have some bad news. The GWFPA (Global Whale Farming Protection Agency) and The WSSM (Whale Steak Stock Market) have made keeping blue whales ILLEGAL without an additional 999.999 permits.

Yeah, I saw that.. I paid an extra .01 to make sure they didn't make me buy any more permits.

Guys! Don't believe this crap. The Pinkomyrmex Floyderus has been extinct for 30 years from now being the last known sighting was in 1987 in AUSTRALIA. This is obviously a photoshopped picture from an old captured P. Floyderus that died 30 years ago. I can tell this because of the eggs that it supposedly "laid". You see P. Florderus have greenish black eggs that are shaped like a trapezoid at most times but can sometimes be seen looking like a chicken egg. Do NOT believe this stuff its just a hoax to try and make money off a false claim. Please I beg of you, don't give this man money, he cannot be trusted!

Thanks so much for the help Void. I'm looking at this body of water called the "Pacific Ocean" which appears even larger than your space. I think I'll get the whales from a breeder.

There's also this place. It's a bit far off but then it's very quiet and natural, so the humpbacks and Pinkomyrmex don't get disturbed too much. There's even speculations that humpbacks are actually an invasive species that originated from there. It's a bit cold for Pinkomyrmex though, so you'd require a strong heating cable for the nest (a generation V 3MW nuclear reactor should do).

We should respect all forms of consciousness. The body is just a vessel, a mere hull.

I'm about to "extinct" you, Annexis.

The "Arctic Ocean" has plenty of space but I would need a nuclear powered heat cable. I think this will do actually.

I bought the "500,000,000,000,000 watt Heat Ball v.3.5" Should provide a nice heat gradient.

Actually, there are many variants of this species. That was the AU variant that went extinct due to VoidElecent selling them all. Nathan has the USA variant.

Yea, aren't there a few subspecies?

Indeed, there are Nathant2131.
Here on the coast we have to deal with the fairly aggressive subspecies P. floyderous obscuratus. While not very numerous, they make up for it in sheer audacity and strength. They're known for raiding the elephant seals up north and carrying off whole harems from under the bulls' nose. This understandably puts a lot of pressure on the herd, and is what's actually responsible for the in-fighting you normally see on Animal Planet. A stress reaction that they call "mating and dominance rituals".
Local restaurants have trouble with them as well. It isn't uncommon to find them gutting the interior of a walk in fridge for the whale slabs kept inside.
Just as an aside, I must admit that whale steaks are delicious, if a bit fatty.
I can also comment on the keeping of whales as feeders. You really don't need all that much space. Around here, the humpbacks are kept nose down with the head in a easy-feed trough of krill. Crews take shifts wetting them down, and it isn't all that much of a hassle. It's sort of like veal. :) The upside is that you only need a fraction of the space most free-range whalers need to meet production requirements. On the downside, you do have to essentially start a small business.
But hey! Free whale steaks for you,possibly a deal with a French perfumery, and a long term solution to feeding your P. floyderous. :)

We in the South have a sub species called P. floyderous rebellious. Like the South, it is quite rowdy and annoying. Destroying other P. floyderous nests. Their main weapon of choice is the AK-9000.
