Humans have been the biggest and most dangerous predators of the blue whales. With large ships and powerful harpoons humans killed these gentle giants in thousands. 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.
