Great whales show potential for extraordinary longevity if preserved from human threats

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • A new study published in Science Advances suggests that several species of great whales may live significantly longer than previously believed, potentially reaching over 100 years.
  • This research highlights that historical industrial hunting may have obscured the true longevity of species including sperm, blue, fin, and right whales.
  • Previous knowledge that Arctic bowhead whales can exceed 200 years due to favorable living conditions has been expanded to include other whale species.
  • Conservationists argue that a complete moratorium on whale hunting is critical, as only by minimizing human threats can these magnificent creatures live to their natural potential.
  • The North Atlantic right whale is now near extinction, with as few as 372 individuals remaining, highlighting the urgent need for protective measures.
