En un siècle (entre 1885 et 1984), 14 295 rorquals de cette espèce furent pêchés. On les chassait en grand nombre au large des côtes de Norvège et d'Écosse entre la fin du XIX e siècle et le début du ...
A recently published scientific paper titled “Kinematic Diversity in Rorqual Whale Feeding Mechanisms” (in Current Biology, Sept. 2016, Cade et al) caught my eye for a number of reasons. I had just ...
An aerial team from the Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life at the New England Aquarium spotted this fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) during a 2017 survey of the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts ...
The world’s largest animals have been hiding something. The bodies of the giant rorqual whales—including the blue, fin and humpback—have been regularly displayed in museums, filmed by documentary ...
