Sponsoring
or 'adopting' a whale or dolphin is a fun way to support charities
that work to protect and conserve cetaceans, and an adoption
can also make an unusual gift. Bottlenose dolphins seem to be
the favourite species for adoption, but you can also choose an orca,
humpback or minke whale. And now you can even name a Scottish minke.
