    Favourite baleen whale?

    Hi everyone! This seems strange for pet talk, but i love whales and would hate to see them go extinct but i wondered what other people think of these magnificent creatures. My favourite is the humpback whale because of its huge white flippers!

    To see some pics and description of them, click here.

    Yeah, i know that this is about the millionth poll that i've created, but i just think of them randomly and feel the need to post them!!! LOL

    There's no button for "all whales"! I think they are fascinating animals, and it's sad that they are still be hunted for "food". I can understand the Inuits (Eskimos) using them, but some Asian cultures are taking them out by the thousands, and driving many to the brink of extinction. Along with sharks for only their fin (shark fin soup) bears are being poached for only their gall bladders....too sad that money talks, and poachers greed takes over.

    Oh i forgot to make it multiple choice!! there were too many options to make an all whales button. Still, i suppose if you had to pick your very favourite, what would it be???
    Humpback - yay my favourite!!!

    Have seen many humpbacks, finbacks, and minkes from childhood fishing trips to whale watches as an adult. I would love to see a Right whale, as they're so rare, so I voted for them, but I love them all!

    I guess if I have to pick one favorite, it would be the humpback. I've seen lots of them, and they can be great fun to watch.

    Free Willy!! LOL

    I chose Blue whale, but only because I thought it looked the neatest. I like them all the same, I suppose, but I don't know much about whales.

    As far as Baleen whales go, I like humpbacks. I prefer toothed whales though, especially Killer Whales! (up until we moved, my room was full of orca things...)
