  • A pygmy blue whale swims in the warm waters off the coast of Sri Lanka. The whales migrate off the southern coast of Sri Lanka every years from the horn of Africa to the Bay of Bengal, in the Indian ocean. The pygmy blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda) is a subspecies of the blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) found in the Indian Ocean and the southern Pacific Ocean.

  • A Fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) swims in the Mediterranean Sea. Next to the blue whale, the fin whale is the second largest mammal in the world, at over 60 ft. American naturalist Roy Chapman Andrews called the fin whale "the greyhound of the sea ... for its beautiful, slender body is built like a racing yacht and the animal can surpass the speed of the fastest ocean steamship."Photo: Paul Hilton for Earth Tree Images

  • Humpback whales, enjoy the warm waters of Tonga, Pacific Ocean. Every year humpback whales migrate north from the frigid waters of the Southern Ocean to give birth and breed in the sheltered waters of the Pacific ocean. Like other large whales, the humpback was a target for the whaling industry. Once hunted to the brink of extinction, its population fell by an estimated 90% before a 1966 moratorium. While stocks have partially recovered to some 80,000 animals worldwide, entanglement in fishing gear, collisions with ships and noise pollution continue to impact on the species.

  • Humpback whales, enjoy the warm waters of Tonga, Pacific Ocean. Every year humpback whales migrate north from the frigid waters of the Southern Ocean to give birth and breed in the sheltered waters of the Pacific ocean. Like other large whales, the humpback was a target for the whaling industry. Once hunted to the brink of extinction, its population fell by an estimated 90% before a 1966 moratorium. While stocks have partially recovered to some 80,000 animals worldwide, entanglement in fishing gear, collisions with ships and noise pollution continue to impact on the species.
