Northern Right Whales - The Right Whale for the Wrong Reasons

Hi and welcome back to Walkin' on the Wild Side!  This episode, we're going to the coast (figuratively) and talking about one of the rarest marine mammals, the northern right whale.  Taken to the brink of extinction by the whaling industry, this slow moving, surface dwelling whale faces an uncertain future as population numbers compromised during whaling continue to decline due to modern day vessel strikes, entanglement in fishing gear, and demands for the ocean's resources.  Join Marvin and Gabrielle to learn more about this incredible marine mammal, it's stuggles, and continued efforts to save a whale who's very survival is in the hands of the human race.
