Is the blue whale extinct?

Brainyblonde

An estimated 4,900 to 6,000 blue whales inhabited the northern Pacific Ocean prior to whaling. Between 1910 and 1966, approximately 8,200 were killed in the North Pacific, severely reducing the population. The North Pacific population is now estimated at 1,200 to 1,700 animals; the worldwide population is estimated at 8,000 to 12,000. http://www.wildlife.alaska.gov/aawildlife/endangered/blue.cfm May 30 04, 2:22 PM
