Humpback Whale


INTERESTING FACTS
The Humpback's songs can travel great distances. They live near the coastline. The Humpback Whale eats krill plankton and small fish. They are very powerful creatures and jump out of the water regularly.

STATUS
There are only about 51,000 humpback whales left!

WHY THREATENED
The Humpback Whale is being over hunted by illegal whalers. I believe that Japanese whalers are big part of it. You can watch Whale Wars to see who fight against the whalers that I think are illegal.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
You can support organizations like the Sea Sheppard who try to save whales.

  1. It is hard to believe that these VERY large mammals can be threatened by anyone. Do you think the human ear can hear the Humpback whales song?
