Cook Inlet Beluga whales, a rare species that graces our planet, are nearing extinction off the coast of Alaska. This particular species may be extinct within the next 100 years. Even though there are five distinct groups of Beluga Whales off the coast of Alaska, this particular group is favored by locals and by tourists due to their demeanor and playfullness. Unlike other species that are clealy dying off due to a much warmer climate, scientists are unsure as to why the beluga whales are dying.
Being someone that loves the ocean, and loves animals of the sea, it does bother me that such a unique type of Beluga Whale is going extinct. What bothers me even more is that we do not know why. With all the technology these days and the power that scientists have, why do we not know what is causing them to go extinct?
