Bluw Whale, large numbers (2 Viewers)

So there's 55 now, where there were thousands before whaling started . . . small signs of a slight recovery, in other words. A long, long way to go yet. And a definite 'NO' to restarting whaling!
 
Yes, the last review of Antarctic Blue Whales estimated 2000: pre-whaling the population estimate was 250,000 - so they have recovered to less than 1% of the pre-whaling total... good news but not by any means spectacularly good!

And as Nutty says, "no" in 500 point flaming bold capitals!
