Blue Whales
Today, an estimated 10,000 to 25,000 of these majestic animals swim throughout the seas. They have an endangered designation from the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Whaling is illegal in most countries, however Iceland, Norway, and Japan still actively engage in whaling .

How many blue whales are left
10,000-25,000
Before whaling, there may have been as many as 250,000 blue whales, but today, it is one of the world's rarest species, with a population of just 10,000-25,000. Sadly, blue whales face a multitude of threats from human interference. However, it's not too late to change their fate.Management Overview. All beluga whales are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, with the Sakhalin Bay-Nikolaya Bay-Amur River stock and the Cook Inlet stock designated as depleted. The Cook Inlet beluga whale population is listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act.Humpback Whales
Humpback Whales No Longer Endangered. Orcas are their only natural predators. The blue whale was once abundant in nearly all the Earth's oceans until the end of the 19th century. It was hunted almost to the point of extinction by whalers until the International Whaling Commission banned all blue whale hunting in 1966.
Can a blue whale live 100 years : Scientists have discovered that by counting the layers of a deceased whale's waxlike earplugs, they can get a close estimate of the animal's age. The oldest blue whale found using this method was determined to be around 110 years old. Average lifespan is estimated at around 80 to 90 years.
Are killer whales endangered : Southern Resident killer whales are the only endangered population of killer whales in the United States, ranging from central California to southeast Alaska. Long-term commitments across state and international borders are needed to stabilize the Southern Resident population and prevent their extinction.
Do Japanese still whale hunt
Whilst current whaling is a far cry from pre ban days, it is still significant. Japanese whalers hunted in Antarctica until 2019 where they targeted minke whales (including hunting inside the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary) and continue in the North Pacific where the harpoons are focused on sei and minke whales. Whales are mostly hunted for the consumption of their meat, some of which are exported to established markets in Japan. Despite the low demand for whale meat within and outside the country, Norwegian politicians and fishermen try to keep the practice alive and even expand this market.There are an estimated total of 1,000–3,000 whales in the North Atlantic, 3,000–5,000 in the North Pacific, and 5,000–8,000 in the Antarctic.
What whale only has 10 left : The vaquita
The vaquita is the most endangered cetacean in the world. With as few as around 10 left, the species will become extinct without a fully enforced gillnet ban throughout their entire habitat. WWF is urgently working to ensure they can live and thrive in their natural habitat.
