Facing a variety of man-made threats, North Atlantic right whales were listed under the Endangered Species Act in 1970. Once the right whale to hunt, these giants are now the right whales to save.

Saw one about 20 years ago off Cape John near the old Macdonalds warf in the Seafoam area Northumbrland Straight. Female I think, came in close to my boat. They're just beautiful I cant image anyone hurting one, you can see in thier eyes that they're intelligent.

I'm flabergasted that I've never heard of these whales before and I lived in S. FL. for 45 yrs. and spent tons of time in the Biscayne bay and along the east coast of central FL to the keys. WOW!

Why is it everytime i learn about a new cool species.....i soon find out they r endangered....

@WildsDreams45 3 жыл бұрын

This species isn't endangered like most whales, this species is critically endangered meaning that it's the closest to extinction and with only around a hundred or so breeding females it may indeed go extinct soon.

@Jay Kay Wow... This affects me personally because these whales are right in my back yard. Over 40 died in one year and now the population left is around 360 The population has been in decline for a long time and those bullshit donations are the only reason why they haven't gone extinct yet.

Put tracking devices on the Right whales. Propeller guard should be on every boat. Two things that will make a difference. I hope to see one in it's natural environment.

Yes ...even a thin teaspoon design would be effective but it's the entanglements and excess orca populations that are wreaking the most havoc on larger ocean mammal species'

Over 40 of these died last year so now the population is around 360 so if you see one Before it goes extinct you're really lucky.

They got their name from walers who considered them to be the "right" kind of whale to hunt and that's why they went from 15k to just a few hundred. Edit: over 40 died last year so now the population is around 360.
