Whales are amongst the most brilliant marine mammals on earth. The blue whale is the biggest animal to ever exist. Regardless of this history, industrial whaling has actually left the whale species exceptionally endangered. Thankfully, whaling has been ended in numerous nations, but still exists in some. The impact of this continued whaling endangers the existence of the varieties, and if not stopped, might wipe out whales.
Whales are unbelievably intelligent creatures. Their tunes are a form of communication that are special to each animals and personal and are utilized to exchange details. Whales have countless behaviors that are similar to humans; whales raise a single offspring at a time, whales have courting rituals, and whales have actually even been observed grieving each others deaths. Dolphins and whales are closely related, and numerous of the enthralling behaviors that have actually been observed in dolphins have even been discovered in whales. The public raised a significant outcry when tuna fishers hurt dolphin human populations. Like dolphins, whales really should not be eradicated for food.
Whales add to the ecological diversity of the oceans. Whales eat krill, fish, and little mammals. Whales come in countless contours and sizes and are located all over the world. In spite of their diversity, most species of whales are at danger due to hunting, habitat changes, and population decrease. If whales were to go extinct, there might be a considerable adverse impact on the natural world.
The illegal whale hunts have not stopped. More desires to be done to eliminate whaling before the species is completely lessened. Sea Shepherd is dedicated to this fight. Visit Sea Shepherd to study more.

What are the fish that clean humpback whales? I see little fish on this video of a humpback whale. What are they and why are they cleaning it?
Cleaning other species is a life style called “cleaning symbiosis” and it helps both the cleaner and the cleaned. The fish is probably a remora http://www.oceanlight.com/html/remora_sp.html
Have you tried the new powerful Orca vaccum cleaner? I guarnan-damn-tee it!
Q: How is a walrus like tupperware? A: They both like a tight seal!
Originally named Dryhump Back Whales, it was quickly recognized that the name made no sense since whales frequently dwell in wet environments, so the name was changed to Humpback Whales. As the name implies, they will hump anything. Seasluts are a copycat specie, since they will also hump anything that doesn’t float. The Goth Seasluts will also hump anything, even if it is floating belly up. Hope this helps. Marine biology can be so confusing to the layperson.
why are humpback whales threatened with extinction?
because they are being hunted by poachers.
Humpback Whales are threatened with extinction due to the treatment of their species by humans. Back in the 19th and 20th centuries whaling was a sport commonly found in the country of Iceland. As time moved along more and more countrys joined the fad. Japan, The United States, and Iceland were the first to be recorded in whaling. Pirates also whaled. Whales were captured and brutally killed for meat and oil. {More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whaling}
they have been hunted
oil spills other pollution plus they are being hunted by poachers to extinction. but hunting is the main cause (80% maybe more), while oil spills are second.
Because the Japanese seem to think that killing them is part of their long heritage. Its not, just an excuse to make money
how many white humpback whales are left? im just wondering how many whales are left in the world?? i know theres not many and im do a report on Migaloo, so i just want to know exactly how many white humpbacks are left? please help me! thanks..
3 I have 1 in my backyard.
http://www.migaloowhale.org/ Facts about Migaloo Other white humpback whales:…Migaloo is the only known occurrence of an all-white humpback whale in the 20th century…. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7519263.stm…A white calf was spotted with a normal humpback mother in Byron Bay two years ago. Experts say the new whale could be the offspring of Migaloo but further tests need to be carried out… Migaloo is an albino humpback whale and not a subspecies of humpback whales. There is not a separate population of white humpback whales, just rare occurrences within the humpback whale specie. http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/13006 Humpback Whale…he available population estimates total more than 60,000 animals…
And then they travel south to north in six months. They are going from feeding ground to feeding ground. Those locations are seasonally weather-dependent.
good questions maybe cause the water temp.
In the southern hemisphere they do it the other way round. They migrate north to the tropical waters to give birth and breed and then migrate south to Antarctic waters to feed.
Similar to birds, humpback whales migrate seasonally for reasons of feeding and reproduction. The colder northern waters have the richest food supply, however it is too cold for young calves (baby whales), so the adults migrate to warmer waters to give birth, raise the young calves, and breed. Once the calves have grown enough and gained enough blubber to insulate themselves, the whales head north to feed again.
