The Southern Right Whale is one of three species of right whale, which are baleen whales. This type of whale is characterized by having baleen plates which they use to filter food from water, rather than using teeth. Adult Southern Right Whale female grow to be about 50 feet long (15 meters) and can weigh up to 46 long tons or 532 long tones (47 tones) As their name suggests, these animals are unable to cross the warm equatorial waters are only found in the Southern Hemisphere, rarely going north of the eastern most tip of Brazil.

Description

Fine art illustration of a Southern Right Whale (Eubalaena australis.) The illustration is available in black and white or color.

The Southern Right Whale was completed on 6.27.2012. Moving forward with the 50 State Project I realized I would have to add another whale to the Dolphin and Whale image gallery , because the Southern Right Whale is the official state marine mammal of Georgia. But this impressive cetacean was a great pleasure to draw, and I’m getting that much closer to having all extant species of whale illustrated.
