The incredible animals were captured on film by Denver-born filmmaker Patrick Dykstra, who fulfilled a long-held dream by swimming with the creatures. The whales are the largest animal to ever inhabit the earth, and outsize even the biggest dinosaurs. Stunning drone footage captures the enormous mammals from above, while in other shots a kayaker paddles just metres from one of the awe-inspiring creatures.

They also used baleen whales to make tennis racquets and corsets! Today, modern technology has replaced the need for whale products, so there is no need to kill whales for their oil. Sadly, some countries still kill whales to sell whale meat for profit – a very expensive luxury for some people. In the old days of whaling, the sailors hunted whales from sail ships and rowing boats. They chased the whales and threw hand-thrown spears called harpoons at them. However, during the late 1800s, steam powered ships replaced the old sailing boats. They could sail all over the world, even to the north and south poles, and kill whales in vast numbers. Now the whalers could chase and catch the fastest swimming whales and exploding harpoons were used to kill many large whales. Not long ago it seemed that the whales would disappear altogether and become extinct! In 1946, the whalers decided to try to stop the whales going extinct and they formed the International Whaling Commission (IWC). The IWC decided the number of whales that could be killed every year. The IWC was made up of whaling countries and they kept killing more and more whales. Soon, so few whales of some species remained that it was no longer worth trying to find and kill them.Whale Today, many countries have given up whaling, including the United Kingdom. People became so concerned about how the whales were suffering and dying out that they wrote letters and signed petitions calling for all whaling to stop. Because of this, in 1982 the majority of IWC member countries voted to stop killing whales for profit. A whaling ban, or moratorium, was then introduced in 1986. Even today, no one really knows how many whales are left. Unfortunately, some countries like Japan, Iceland and Norway have refused to stop whaling. They still kill thousands of whales each year between them.
