Fin Whale
My endangered species is the fin whale. The other names for this whale are called the Finback Whale, Finner Whale, Rorqual Razorback Whale, and the Herring Whale. The Fin Whale is the world's second largest whale in the world, right behind the Blue Whale. The Fin Whale can swim at speeds up to 23mph and are know as "Greyhound Of The Sea" The average length of the Fin Whale is 6-6.5 meters at birth and 18-22 meters when fully grown. Some Fin Whales have been known to grow more than 26 meters long. The weight of the Fin Whale weighs about 2 tons when born and 30- 80 tons when fully grown. Their diet is made up of fish, Krill and other crustaceans. Some physical attributes of the Fin Whale are that their skin comes in the colors silvery gray, dark gray or brownish black. They have a very long straight body, smooth skin, and head pigmentation, a ridge on head, a very high spout, small fin, and are normally found in small groups or alone. Their speed and the fact that they prefer the open sea, gave them protection from the early whalers. Now, finback whales become easy victims because the blue whale has become scarce and in the result the whaling looked to the smaller fin
