Globally the number of Blue Whales are up marginally to an average of 400 (click on for Blue Whale Song)



The Blue Whale of the Southern Hemisphere. It's difficult to capture a Blue Whale on film. They are 100 feet long and very powerful swimmers averaging about 30 knots in the open Pacific waters. Some estimates are as high as 1400 but that census comes from the 1980s.
