The Southern Right Whale's scientific name is Eubalaena Autralis. Hope this helps!
Right whales are called "right" whales because thy were considered the "right whales to hunt" - they are slow moving and float once killed. This is one reason why they were nearly wiped out. Now days the biggest threat to Right Whales is large ships. Ships often hit the slow moving whales which causes massive internal injuries. Northern Right Whales are far more endangered than Southern Right Whales because there are more shipping lanes in the Northern Oceans.

The Southern Right Whales are marvelous creatures. Right whales were named by whalers who thought they were the "right" kind of whales to hunt. Since they were loaded in blubber, they were easy to catch and they floated after being killed. The whale's skin is a brown to dark gray with white patches near its mouth. Like the other baleen whales right whales have no dorsal fins. The heads of these whales are hairier than others. There can be found up to 300 hairs near the tip of the lower jaw and close to 100 on the top. They also have callosities behind the blowhole, on the chin, above the eyes, on the lower lip, and on the rostrum. Callosities themselves are grey; the reason it appears to be white due to large colonies of whale lice around them.
