This is due to the fact that the number of female or cow whales are diminishing rapidly leading to no more reproduction. The female whales are to small and they’re to skinny where they won’t be matter with and there is nothing that they can do to help it. These ropes are tangling them up causing them to not be able to travel and get enough food to be able to thrive mate with males. Overall we learned so much about right whales and the ...
