Right whale mother and calf

Right whales. Computer artwork of a female right whale with its calf. The gestation period is just over a month. The calf feeds on its mothers milk for its first year. Adult right whales can reach over 16 metres in length and over 100 tonnes in weight. They are baleen whales that feed on food filtered from the water by baleen plates in their mouths. There are two right whales species: the northern right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) and the southern right whale (Eubalaena australis), found in the northern and southern oceans respectively. Some consider northern and southern right whales to be subspecies. This whale was so-named because it was considered the right whale to hunt

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the heartwarming bond between a right whale mother and her calf. Created through computer artwork, this image showcases the beauty of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. The gestation period for right whales is just over a month, after which the calf relies on its mother's milk for nourishment during its first year of life. Right whales are known to be one of the largest animals on Earth, with adult individuals reaching lengths exceeding 16 meters and weighing over 100 tonnes. As baleen whales, they possess unique baleen plates in their mouths that allow them to filter-feed on food from the water. There are two species of right whales: the northern right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) and the southern right whale (Eubalaena australis), inhabiting different regions of our oceans. Interestingly, these majestic creatures were named "right" whales because they were considered the ideal target for whalers due to their slow swimming speeds and tendency to float when killed. Thankfully, conservation efforts have helped protect these incredible animals from extinction. In this illustration, we witness a serene underwater scene where this gentle duo gracefully swims together amidst shades of blue. It serves as a reminder of both the fragility and resilience found within our marine ecosystems while highlighting nature's remarkable ability to nurture new life.
