The whale has very poor eyesight, so they have to communicate by sound. The Bowhead's main predators are humans and killer whales. In order to escape from the hunters, the whales can stay under water for up to one hour. The Bowhead Whale is found in the Hudson Bay area in Canada. This whale likes the cold Artic waters.
Whales live in salt water.
The Bowhead whale was hunted in the early 1800's and more than 30,000 were killed in the last century. Whales were hunted for their oil, and their bones were used for brushes, whips and umbrellas. The whales now have to deal with water pollution and industrial noise from boats and airplanes. There are only 500 Bowhead Whales left. In order to protect the Bowhead Whale I think we all should help support the Wildlife organization that is working to save the Bowhead Whale.
