More about the book
Focusing on the North Atlantic right whale's unique characteristics, this book explores its impressive size and physical traits, including its graceful tail and distinctive callosities. Known for forming strong bonds with its young, the whale's history is marred by extensive commercial hunting since the tenth century, leading to its designation as the "right" whale to kill due to its valuable blubber and oil. The narrative highlights the challenges faced by this species, often found near industrialized areas along North America's east coast.
