The North Atlantic Right Whale (Eubalaena glacialis) is a critically endangered species of baleen whale found in the western North Atlantic Ocean. Once heavily hunted for their blubber and slow-moving nature, these whales were named "right whales" because they were considered the right whales to hunt. Today, their population is severely threatened by ship strikes, entanglement in fishing gear, and habitat disturbances. They are known for their massive heads covered in unique callosities, which help researchers identify individuals. Despite their struggles, conservation efforts aim to protect and restore their dwindling numbers, making them a symbol of marine conservation and the fight to save ocean wildlife.
The North Atlantic Right whale has been swimming through the waters off the North American coast for a long time. Its smooth, black skin is covered in green-brown barnacles on its forehead and mouth. It has a white spot on its underside, otherwise it is completely black. It can grow up to 52 feet long long! These are true kings and queens of the seas.
The North Atlantic Right whale swims slowly through the sea with its small front flippers. It keeps its large body on course with its broad, transverse tail fin and travels only 5 miles per hour. It swims slowly, because as it glides through the water, it filters small crabs and fish called Krill through the sieve in its mouth, which it then eats with relish. A full meal takes quite a long while for a giant like him. After all, the sea giant weighs up to 220,000 pounds, so its appetite for krill is neverending!
