Hunting and Other Mortality
Eight Omura’s whales were taken by Japanese scientific whaling in the 1970s, six in the Solomon Sea in October 1976 and two near the Cocos Islands in November 1978. In the past, artisanal whalers in the Philippines took a sporadic number in the Bohol Sea. Two individuals were also recently incidentally caught in set nets in Japan.

and they will take his perfect green body
