Right Whale
(Eubabalena glacialis)
Adopted in 1985.
After being discovered that Georgia's coastal waters were a calving area for the right whale, this endangered species became the state marine mammal in 1985. The right whale grows up to 50 feet long, has no dorsal fin and bears distinctive patches of whitish bumps on its head. It is the only great whale that is native to Georgia waters.
