Blue whale 🐋

The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is a marine mammal and a baleen whale.
Four subspecies are recognized: B. m. musculus in the North Atlantic and North Pacific, B. m. intermedia in the Southern Ocean, B. m. brevicauda (the pygmy blue whale) in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean, B. m. indica in the Northern Indian 🌊.
The blue whale was once abundant in nearly all the Earth's oceans until the end of the 19th century. It was hunted almost to the point of extinction by whalers until the International Whaling Commission banned all blue whale hunting in 1966.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature has listed blue whales as Endangered as of 2018.
