Species in the Spotlight: North Atlantic Right Whale

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.

I've been on this earth 40 years and today I learned the Right Whale is a thing. Amazing.

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.

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.

There was a female and her calf off Jupiter Inlet (near Palm Beach) just the other day. Thousands watched them from the shore.

Love this video - I’ve really been enjoying the Whale Alert app too (we have a couple of individuals offshore in Virginia right now!)

[@mkb8529]

So amazing that there is access to infinite info about animals at our fingertips and yet I’m constantly

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.

Right whales are huge!

[@dickdastardly5534]

I pray to God we can protect these species of whales so that they can return to their numbers prior to being hunted so close to extinction 💔

[@HydreigonJ89]

I still haven't seen a whale in my life. I do feel like the Right Whale is gonna be my first if I'm lucky in the Winter.

Whales also help other ocean animals , their poop is full of nutrients and more!

[@eslmhs]

The word whale came from the Old English word hwael. Can you believe that?
