fin whales are not endangered in any way but over 4 outta 5 species listed as endangered or threatened arent either, but placing them falsely on these lists is only way peta & its subsidiaries like greenpeace ansd sea terror, i mean sea shepard, can stop killing of a species is to list it falsely as such. whales are over populating in last 15 yearsand nature trying fix it by killing them. the pacific coast is litered with whales every year more n more annualy stop peta protect whaling to save em

@billybob42081 billybob, you state many asssumptions here. I'm not going to debate whether or not conservation organisations should be allowed to do their work or not but rather would like to point to the fact that nature isn't "fixing" the problem of [the so called overpopulation of] whales but breaching has been caused by human interference to the whales sonar. There are definate links. I'm no expert but please look at the facts and statistics before spreading misinformation! TY

That's not a baby. It's nearly an adult, which are about 60-65ft on average in the North Pacific. Strange, it has coloration very similar to a sei whale, yet the right one-third of its baleen is white like a fin whale. I haven't seen a fin whale that blue (which sei whales typically are), with the white on the ventral side ending at about the flippers like a sei whale. Perhaps it's just me.

("Buried at high water mark" tends to result in shark attention in the area for a long while.)
