Whales are one of the most popular yet gentlest creatures in the marine ecosystem. In the past, different types of whales, from killer whales, humpback whales and Minke whales, were flourishing and migrating throughout the world from the Pacific Ocean to the deep Atlantic. However, at present, the whale animals have been threatened of extinction as a outcome of unlawful and inhumane projects that is taking place as we speak. Whales as well as other animals of fish, including dolphins, have been significantly altered in a detrimental method due to human fishing activities that have actually led to the continual and gradual depletion of these beautiful marine animals.
One country in specific that has actually been engaging in this inhumane and immoral activity against nature is Japan. Huge whale angling vessels have actually been dispatched around the seas of Japan, primarily in the western Pacific Ocean, to hunt down innocent whales and collect their meat and additional parts to be utilized for oil, fertilizer, perfume, shampoo, soap, gelatin, margarine and other items. Regardless of the uses it can bring, these living creatures should not have to pay their lives simply for this senseless reason.
Whales contribute to the ecological diversity of the oceans. Whales eat krill, fish, and small mammals. Whales come in numerous shapes and sizes and are discovered all over the globe. Regardless of their variety, most varieties of whales are at danger due to hunting, environment changes, and population reduction. If whales were to go extinct, there might be a considerable detrimental impact on the natural world.
The illegal whale hunts have not stopped. More requires to be done to eliminate whaling before the species is completely depleted. Sea Shepherd is committed to this fight. Visit Sea Shepherd to learn more.

Approximately how many humpback whales are left in the world?
2
There are at least 70,000 humpback whales worldwide. I’ve seen a lot of these in my native country.
How are humpback whales adapted to the antarctic environment? please give three examples.
1. Blubber 2. Specialised circulatory system 3. Baleen- they feed on krill
where do the humpback whales live? i really need help on where killers live so can someone please help me
I believe at a place called Bikini Bottom.
Generally in the open ocean. They migrate to warmer water to beed and return to the Artic / Antartic water to feed. They are often seen around California and the Kaikoura area of New Zealand as they are migrating. If you want to see them you can take a boat tour to check them out. http://www.whalewatch.co.nz/index.asp Ian

How do humpback whales or just whales see? ANSWER A.S.A.P? Is it good sight, bad, long vision, short vision, blury, clear? Or how is there smell?
They see the same way we do – with their eyes. Whales rely more on hearing and smell to move around, especially when they’re deep enough that there’s no light, but they see better than we do in shallow water.
“Whales can see very well under the water, but, above the surface they cannot see well at all. Even under water they cannot see far if the water is dirty and murky. Therefore, they depend on their keen sense of hearing. Sounds travel faster in the water than the air, so whales hear sounds quickly, and from far off.” http://planet-pets.com/plntwale.htm There is also some new evidence that humpback whales use echolocation to “see” what is around them. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/09/070901084549.htm Taste and touch are also important ways for whales to understand their surroundings. Sense of smell isn’t a factor, since they breath air and can’t smell anything in the water.
