about how many humpback whales are still alive in the world and how can we keep the whales surviving? (Question ctd.)we keep the whales surviving?… How long will it take for us to stop MURDERING humpback whales.(i think we murder them[im a veggie guy]). in my previous question about humpback whales a guy said that he ate “whale steaks” (im only in 5th grade…jeez)!!!!!!!!!
Humpback whales are NOT hunted any more! Do your research before asking dumb questions. Hunting of humpback whales was banned in 1966. There is a higher risk of death ceased by collisions with ships and from pollution. Now go back to saving lentils.
Listed as endangered since 1970, the humpback now numbers fewer than 12,000 worldwide. Not only does the whale cross international waters, but its habitat and food fish also are subject to pollution and over exploitation by other nations. Protected since 1986 by an international ban on whaling, humpbacks are still targets in some countries that ignore the ban. Other whales are killed or injured by collisions with ships and boats, and many face food shortages because of overfishing and marine pollution. Noise from ships, aircraft, offshore oil rigs and other human activities is thought to interfere with the whales’ ability to feed and breed. We need to raise awareness about how important it is to save this endangered species. By the way I’m also a veggie

Yes, but Sperm whales gross me out… I’m not a woman or a middle aged Japanese man. Look up Humpback Whale mating sounds… it’s awesome.

mike1942f: I have no idea what you’re talking about? What is “Star Trek”?
they went into the wetness protection program
As it “Star Trek”? They are hiding in the library.
different vocal sounds for humpback whales? When a male humpback whale sings, how can you tell whether the whale is singing to attract females for mating or to tell other whales to clear away from his territory? by the way, I’d like professional answers please.
I think the call does both. While the call warns males it also alerts any females in the general area that he is ready to mate. I love humpback whales, they are my favorite whale.
mating calls sound have more base in the sounds
Approximately how many humpback whales are left in the world?
There are at least 70,000 humpback whales worldwide. I’ve seen a lot of these in my native country.
Approx. 30,000 humpback whales worldwide
Why do people hunt Humpback Whales? I need it for homework, sorry! It’s for a reading project and I have to write about endangered species. If you can help then, thanks!
People hunt whales for meat, oil, whalebone and ambergris, and for scientific research. Whale oil is used as a lubricant and as a component of soaps and cosmetics (and was formerly used for margarine and as fuel for lamps). Ambergris is used as a fixative in perfume production. Hope that help
