8 Of The Largest Whales In The World

[@RomulusTheWild6693]

This was beautiful but it's also tragic to think whales and practically all animals today that weigh a ton or more is being exterminated relentlessly by us

[@TsukiCove]

yeah it's a real shame and whaling still happens today in certain areas such as japan

[@RaisonLychi]

@@TsukiCove especially since it's mostly a sport thing for them as they don't utilize the entire carcass the same way Inuit would and from what I've heard... As a food it's pretty gross, one of those "acquired" taste kind of things. Whaling in japan is both unnecessary and wasteful.

[@iluvyurbles]

@@RaisonLychisad that we allow something so barbaric due to traditions

[@Gildedmuse]

​@@TsukiCove While it's certainly upsetting that whales are being more or less harvested under the pretense of scientific research, I believe that the actual direct hunting/capture of whales by humans might not even be in the Top Five in terms of numbers of whales killed/endangered by outside activities. The first, by a good count, is definitely entanglement/bycatch with whales getting tied up in nets so they are unable to surface, their ability to swim is significantly hampered, swallowed and creating and obstacle to their stomach, or digging in and creating wounds that are are infected/cause additional problems. Humans are just as culpable in these cases, with such deaths far outnumber the ones caused by direct hunting and yet the public is far less aware of this problem and rarely does it get the same headline treatment. It's easy to understand why. We don't have entire animal rights activists following around industrial trawlers, having documentaries made about their efforts to sabotage or even just draw attention to their work like with whaling vessels. Advocating for more sustainable fishing laws in your own country is often very time consuming and boring work where as designating one nation as the "bad guys" is just more attention grabbing. It's just flashier, like a Hollywood bad guy. After bycatch, I believe collisions in shipping lanes is the second major cause, and again this is an issue that the media could easily be raising awareness of. I honestly believe most people would be okay with their Amazon orders taking three extra days because countries start to pass more laws preventing such a high number of large cargo ships from speeding through well known whale migration paths and feeding zones. After that, I believe climate change and pollution are the next biggest culprits. While whaling certainly is barbaric and needs to be called out, it's well past the time when that can be blamed for the current decrease in whale populations. Unfortunately, that damage is done, though the damage we did to generational whale populations during that time is something we're still living with today. If we want to try and help the whales we have now, we need to address the problems that they currently face.

While whale watching recently, we saw a fin whale, and it dove so we couldn't see it for a while. We moved on for several miles, and we came across the same fin whale swimming close to us. I thought it was a different whale, but the marine biologist on the boat assured me that it was the same whale.

Tsuki, you have exceeded yourself again. I never knew there were so many whale species.

[@avidhossanmansur9830]

Whales are surprisingly smart they remember individual people and even call out unique calls for them. It's almost like they name people. Once I saw a female beluga squeaking to get the attention of a particular handler, she'd only make the sound when he was around. And not to mention they love to play.

[@josephsalmonte4995]

They can't be that smart if they commonly die by collision with freighters. They have the whole depths to avoid them

Baird’s and Arnoux’s Beaked Whales aren’t as heavy, but are very slender and elusive. They are both the second and third largest toothed whales, respectively, behind the Sperm Whale.

[@GerSanRiv]

Why did I receive the notification for your latest video before this one ever showed up?

[@troyandskyelar9588]

I doubt whales could ever reach their previous numbers, even if no longer hunted. There’s just not enough food anymore with so many people. I remember an Attenborough quote - “it’s time we stop controlling the environment for the benefit of people, and start controlling the population of people for the benefit of the environment” or something like that. I personally enjoy reading historical whaling accounts. The invention of the steam engine on ships and the mounted guns ramped up the slaughter but before that they didn’t have too much of a dent from whaling. The hand driven harpoons, rowed boats and sail powered vessels were the glory days of whaling. Back when a sailor signed up on a vessel for a whaling voyage and they were gone for years. Crazy. Not just “let’s go out bag us some whales and be home by Friday”, Nup, goodbye my love I’ll see ya in a few years.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

The reason why the Right whale is called the "Right whale" was because of it being the Right whale to hunt. - Slow swimmers - Inquisitive, they swim right up to the boats - Don't put up much of a fight when harpooned (VERY different from the Gray Whale, which would attack the boats, earning them the "Devil fish" nickname) - Floats after being killed, which made it easier to bring them ashore for butchering - Offered the biggest amount of whale oil and baleen. Yes, to whalers, the Right Whale was a swimming goldmine.

[@asshat1607]

Repeating myths again are we? North Pacific right whales often put up a fight, staving boats and injuring men, and did sink on occasion. They never swam right up to a whaleboat to be harpooned. That's completely made up. Bowheads offered the largest amount of whalebone and oil, though North Pacific rights could offer a similar amount. Do more research next time, kid.

[@Quareque]

​@@asshat1607But north Pacific right whale is significantly bigger than bowhead. North Pacific right whale is second largest animal after blue whale.

[@theoldspinosaurus]

[@Bacopa68]

When I was a kid we had a letter writing campaign to stop whaling. This was in the seventies. I chose to write to the prime Minister of Japan rather than Brezhnev because this was shortly after SALT and during the negotiations for SALTII. Somehow I imagined my letter could subvert SALTII. I suppose I imagined this because when I learned the Pledge of Allegiance a few years earlier I reasoned that I must have superpowers. Why would I need to say a pledge to my country if I could not do great harm to my country?

One wonders if any old Bowheads remember the hunt for whales. If they live up to 200 years, I'd say some still do. After all, whale hunting didn't decline until the spread of electricity, and wasn't actually banned until 1971 in America. Shamefully, Norway, Iceland, and Japan still engage in this horrific practice.

[@kokotomenance344]

It’s genuinely incredible that marine cetacean megafauna have suffered almost zero extinctions compared to many other creatures. Losing any baleen whales would be tragic and the fact they’re all still here is really something fascinating

From what i could find the fossil measured 30 meters, possibly up to 35 meters. But then as it wasnt a filter feader it most likely needed a lot better mobility then a blue whale. So if it was 2-3 meters longer then a blue whale, but half the weight, or 80% or whatever, it still makes the blue whale bigger. Mass over length, that is size of something
