These are a couple of Stingrays that have a name very much alike. This is according to information from the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the IUCN Red List. The Blue-spotted Ribbon-tail Ray, is also known as the Blue-spotted Stingray. The best way to distinguish them apart, is to use the scientific name, especially when there are so many species as with the Stingrays. * Blue-spotted Stingray, Neotrygon kuhlii: Has Not been Evaluated * Blue-spotted Ribbon-tail Ray, Taeniura lymma: Listed "Near Threatened" Status For more details, please see sites listed below.

∙ 12y agoBlue Whale populations have declined significantly due to extensive and uncontrolled hunting. Blue whale hunting was banned in 1966 by the International Whaling Commission. But, by 1970 330,000 blue whales had been caught & killed in the Antarctic, 33,000 in the rest of the Southern Hemisphere, 8,200 in the North Pacific, and 7,000 in the North Atlantic. The largest original population, in the Antarctic, had been reduced to 0.15% its original count.
Now that the hunting of these giant animals is banned, their numbers has started to increase and I don't think they will go extinct.
