The earth is becoming warmer, and the Arctic ice is melting. This makes it more difficult for us to survive. Today there are about 22,000 to 31,000 of us on earth, and our number may still drop. We are the largest animals on the planet. The ocean is our home, and we can live up to 90 years. In the past, humans hunted us, and there were very few of us left. Now it is against the law to hunt us, but we are still at risk. We often get hurt by big ships. Moreover, the ocean water is getting warmer, and we may not have enough food to eat in the future.
