A blue whale cannot do much to protect itself from its enemies but swim away. There are only between 7,000 and 13,000 blue whales left. The blue whale lives in the ocean. It lives in the waters on the west coast by Alaska, California, Oregon, and Washington but in the deep waters. It lives on the east coast by Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Virginia but in the deep waters.
Blue whales are endangered animals because of their blubber which people want.
Blubber is a thick layer of fat under a whale s skin. A long time ago people used blubber to make oil for oil lamps before we had electricity. Nowadays, people use blubber to make margarine, soap, face creams, and lots more. People hunt the blue whales to get their blubber. The U.S. has now passed a law that no one is allowed to import whale products into the U.S. Other countries also have laws about whale hunting, and the International Whaling Commission, set up in 1946, makes rules about how many whales can be hunted.
