SOUTHERN RIGHT WHALE 03.TIF

Download
In 1840, the explorer James Clark Ross witnessed large numbers of “black” whales in polar waters south of New Zealand. His report is thought to have referred to southern right whales, but the species was never again recorded there, perhaps because they had been so heavily hunted at their breeding grounds.
