Endangered Florida Mammals

The Federally Endangered Fin Whale is

the second largest whale, attaining a possible

length of more than eighty feet and weighing

as much as sixty tons, it is the second

largest living animal after the Blue Whale.

Found in every ocean, the most remarkable

characteristic of the Fin Whale is its

prominent dorsal fin.

Although they usually swim alone, they can

occasionally be found in small groups.

This very fast swimming whale, has been

called the Greyhound of the Sea and

may live for up to ninety years.

The song of the male Fin Whale is one

of the lowest made by any animal and is

normally too low for humans to hear.
