In a Wabanaki tale, a huge one of these animals named Bootup serves as Glooscap’s mount. One of these non-flying animals fights a battle that uproots thousands of trees in a Kwakwa̱ka̱’wakw (“QUOCK-wock-ya-WOCK-wuh”) tale. In a third tradition, these descendants of Tangaroa (“tahn-gah-ROH-ah”) guide various iwi to new places to settle. In Pacific Northwest tales, these animals war with thunderbirds. Their scientific name is identical to the name of the monster that attacked Andromeda. Part of these animals names the stage in which the hero is reborn in a journey described by Joseph Campbell. A man leaving the port of Jaffa chooses to sail for Tarshish, but then loses a drawing of lots and encounters one of these animals for three days, after which he obeys God and goes to Nineveh. For 10 points, what sort of animal swallowed Jonah? ■END■
ANSWER: whales [accept big fish or giant fish or great fish or dag gadol; accept kētos megalos or Cetus or Cetaceans; accept killer whales or orcas; prompt on fish or sea monsters] (Editor’s note: Some of the accepts and prompts aren’t taxonomically correct, but are correct in translation for several of the answers. Most pre-modern peoples did not define the word “fish” cladistically.)
