The humpback whale, found in oceans and seas around the world, is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as not being endangered. While its population was threatened in the early 20th century, a moratorium on whale hunting has led to its population growing to around 80,000.The humpback whale, found in oceans and seas around the world, is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as not being endangered.
