The Basque Whale

The story of the North Atlantic Right whale

The Basque Whale is called like that because Basque whalers were their main hunters. It is one of the largest animals in danger of extinction. There are very few individuals left as a result of indiscriminate hunting, it is estimated that there are around 400 specimens throughout the Atlantic. We can say it is critically endangered. This cetacean can measure up to 24 metres and weigh up to 70 tons.
