These large mammals are also called Razorbacks because of a distinct ridge along its dorsal fin .They are an endangered species with a global population of around 30,000. These animals are second in size to the famous Blue Whales and have been heavily hunted in the 20th century .It has been estimated that 750,000 were killed in the southern hemisphere between 1904 and 1979 . They grow to over 20 metres and can weigh 70,000 kg .They can live up to 90 years old . The volunteers were able to follow the three whales for about an hour .
