Evidence of propeller wounds on a North Atlantic Right Whale. One of the most endangered marine mammal species on our planet. They need protection. The new administration is dismantling every agency that works to protect them. It would not surprise me if they go extinct in my lifetime, due to humans

Hooded seal. Males have a cavity in their nose they can inflate, which comes out of their nostril and looks like a red balloon that they smack against their chin to attract mates and intimidate other males. Also, females only nurse their pups for a total of 4 days before they are weaned!
