| This is Where They Live |
The most endangered of all the world’s whale species, the northern right whale. 350 individuals travel the Atlantic coasts of Canada and the US.
During the whaling days of the 19th century, the right whale got its
name because whalers considered it the “right” whale to kill, as it because was full of valuable whale oil, but it floated after it was dead,
which made it easy to handle and process.It was driven to near extinction. Although the right whale is now
protected, its small remnant population continues to suffer losses due
to entanglements in commercial fishing gear: Whales drown after becoming
wrapped in nets, lines and other equipment.We need your help to save this species.
