Blue whale skeleton at the Natural History Museum, London, England

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Blue whale skeleton at the Central Hall of the Natural History Museum, London, England. 'Hope', nickname of the blue whale skeleton, is 25.2 metres (83 ft) long and has been suspended from the ceiling since July 14th 2017. Blue whales are the largest creatures ever to have lived. In the 1800s there were an estimated 250,000 blue whales in the world's oceans. After decades of commercial hunting the species was at the brink of extinction, with only around 400 surviving in 1966. That year the world took action in London and decided to legally protect blue whales from commercial hunting. Since then the population of blue whales has steadily grown to its current level of around 20,000.
