Right whales are mostly black

<h1>The once-prosperous family gradually declined</h1>

Right whales were once abundant, but with the rise and development of the whaling industry and the demand for processed products by humans, the number of right whales plummeted, with at least 15,451 killed by whaling teams of some countries alone between 1839 and 1809. And due to the increase in ships at sea and the development of the fishing industry, dangerous moments such as fishing net entanglement and ship collisions have become more precarious for the survival of right whales.

Right whales have a narrow feeding habit and feed mainly on small planktonic crustaceans and small molluscs of copepods. Due to their high economic value, docile personality, and slow movement, right whales are also one of the earliest cetaceans hunted by humans, often killed in large numbers, and the number of existing right whales has been very small.

<h1>Right whale wreckage</h1>

Nowadays, the number of right whales is getting smaller and smaller, the status quo of the population is not optimistic, their reproductive ability is not strong and the maturity period is long, even if humans do their best to protect them, it will take more than ten years or even longer to restore them to their previous size, in order to prevent right whales from becoming a page of extinct animals, the international agreement has also been reached to include them in the Endangered Animals Protection List and do their best to protect them.
