 The Steller's Sea Cow is known historically only from several islands in the Bering Sea, and prehistorically as a fossil at various sites on both the North American and Asian sides of the Pacific Ocean; no known Steller's Sea Cow has ever lived in the North Atlantic Ocean (although species of the related manatee do live in southern portions).This film was inspired by real scientific studies and techniques such as the article entitled "Information Entropy of Humpback Whales Songs", published by scientists Ryuji Suzuki, John R. Buck and Peter Tyack in 2005.One of these authors, the scientist John R. Buck (of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth) is the scientific advisor for this film.
