Blue Whales can be found in almost every sea and ocean in the world. They were the most widely spread whale species until Man started hunting them down. They were once in numbers of around 200,000 or more and now there are only 20,000 or so animals left in the wild.

They can be found in areas that are abundant in "Krill" their favorite prey species.

They don't live in family groups. They are solitary animals. They are known to be along one or two individuals at most and that too only for short periods of time.

When does a blue whale die?

Blue whales can live for 80 to 90 years. No blue whales are being killed now. Hunting of the blue whale stopped in 1977. Now, the blue whale's only predator is the orca, or killer whale (actually a type of dolphin). Almost a quarter of blue whales have scars from orca attacks, but the blue whale's size (up to 120 tonnes and 60 metres [200 ft] long, bigger than any of the dinosaurs) suggests they are difficult to kill. There is no information on how many are killed by orcas.
