Federal authorities said the second critically endangered North Atlantic right whale found dead in the last month showed injuries consistent with a collision with a ship. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said it was notified of a dead right whale floating off Savannah, Georgia, on Feb. 13. “The North Atlantic right whale’s nursery is becoming a crime scene," said Greg Reilly, southeast marine campaigner for International Fund for Animal Welfare. "Without enhanced protections, the North Atlantic right whale is doomed to extinction. The right whales were once abundant off the East Coast, but they were decimated during the commercial whaling era and have been slow to recover.

☆ Decline of Rare Right Whale Appears to Be Slowing, but Scientists Say Big Threats Remain

The whales were buoyed by a strong birthing year in 2021, when 18 calves were born into the population, the consortium said. However, consortium members cautioned that the high mortality faced by the whales from collisions and entanglement remains an unsustainable burden. Scientists say one reason the whales are now in decline has to do with warming oceans and climate change. Numerous lobster fishermen have opposed proposed fishing restrictions they fear would put them out of business rather than help whales. The right whale consortium said sublethal injuries to whales from collisions and fishing gear are also a major concern for the remaining population.

☆ Big cat cubs rescued from Ukraine reach Poland

WARSAW, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Four lion cubs and a black leopard cub from war-torn Ukraine have found safety in a Polish zoo, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) said, after surviving drone attacks and bombing in the first few months of their lives. The cubs were transferred to animal rescue organisations in Kyiv and Odessa after a crackdown on the exotic pet trade in Ukraine, and are now in Poznan zoo in western Poland awaiting onward travel. IFAW said it had partnered with a sanctuary in the United States and one in Europe to care for the cubs, who were bred in captivity and cannot be released into the wild. The Wildcat Sanctuary (TWS) in the United States will take care of the lion cubs.

☆ World's largest container line is rerouting its fleet to avoid collisions with endangered blue whales, the largest animals on earth

Blue whales, which are endangered, grow to be 80 feet long and can live for 80 years. "By ensuring these small changes, MSC is making a significant difference for these endangered whales. Tharaka Basnayaka/NurPhoto/Getty Images"Re-routeing is the key hope to turn the tide for blue whales off Sri Lanka. Blue whales are the largest living animals on earth. While hunting blue whales is prohibited, the species continues to be threatened, primarily due to declines in its primary food source, krill.
