This is good news. If we have another season like this maybe our right wales will become more out of the endangered list.

'Whale breath' reveals bacteria threatening endangered killer whales

Droplets and exhaled breath caught from the blowholes of killer whales along the Pacific coast are providing scientists with insights into whale health and revealing bacteria and fungi that may be a threat to the mammals. Ref. Source 9x.

Do they listen to themselves. The numbers have dropped due to many factors. One of those factors is less food. If there is less food the species is not going to grow back up to the numbers it once had due to less food. The numbers of a species is in direct ratio as to the food they eat. The less food the lower the numbers the greater the food the the higher the numbers goes. This is simple supply and demand.

Feces from entangled North Atlantic right whales reveals 'sky-high' stress levels. North Atlantic right whale scientists found that whales who undergo prolonged entanglements in fishing gear endure 'sky-high hormone levels,' indicating severe stress, which researchers discovered using a pioneering technique of examining scat from live, entangled, and dead whales over 15 years.

Voice control: Why North Atlantic right whales change calls as they age. Through extensive listening and analysis of whale calls -- which were recorded by a large collaboration of scientists over the past two decades -- researchers were able to pick up the slow gradual changes in sound production in the marine giants as they age. Looking at spectrograms of the calls, which provide visual representations of the sound, the research team could see the progression of vocal characteristics of the animals from calf throughout adulthood.

Why are whales so big? Examining body sizes of ancient and modern aquatic mammals and their terrestrial counterparts reveals that life in water restricts mammals to a narrow range of body sizes -- big enough to stay warm, but not so big they can't find enough food. Source 2e.
