Fascinating Facts:

- Blue whales can live for 80-90 years in the wild
From Near-Extinction to Hope:
In the early 20th century, industrial whaling nearly drove blue whales to extinction. Between 1900 and the 1960s, over 360,000 blue whales were killed. By 1966, when they finally received international protection, fewer than 1,000 remained. Today, their population is slowly recovering, but they still face threats from ship strikes, ocean noise that interferes with their communication, climate change affecting their krill food supply, and entanglement in fishing gear. Blue whales remind us that even the largest creatures on Earth are vulnerable to human activity.
