## Caption

Sadly, 6 right whales have been killed in Canadian waters this June. Punctuation, named for the pattern of scars on her head, survived at least 2 previous ship strikes and had been entangled in fishing gear at least 5 times. She was killed by a third ship strike earlier this week. .
"Any loss of a right whale is detrimental to the population. It's an endangered whale. This one is especially hard because she's a very prolific female, she's had a lot of calves and losing females out of an endangered population is the worst," said DFO biologist Stephanie Ratelle.
