Answer: Critically endangered
Notes: Recently, scientists found North Atlantic right whales are diminishing in size, impacting their breeding. Migratory, they winter in warm waters and migrate to polar regions in late summer. Inhabiting temperate and subpolar waters of the North Atlantic and North Pacific, their distribution is mainly along the East Coast of the United States and Canada. There are three recognized species globally. Critically endangered, North Atlantic right whales skim-feed on plankton, facing threats like habitat loss, making conservation crucial (IUCN: Critically endangered, CITES: Appendix I).
