fin whale, also known as finback whale or common rorqual and formerly known as herring whale or razorback whale, is a cetacean belonging to the parvorder of baleen whales. It is the second-largest species on Earth after the blue whale

The songs of humpback, blue and other baleen whales are generated by the unusual anatomy of their larynx, according to a new paper.

Bowhead whales are capable of breaking through sea ice at least seven inches thick with their large skulls and powerful bodies.

baleen whales from World Book

Blue whales are the biggest animals ever known to have lived on Earth. These humongous marine mammals rule the oceans at up to 100 feet (30.5 meters) long and upwards of 400,000 pounds (200 tons). To put things into perspective, their tongues alone can weigh as much as an elephant and their hearts, as much as an automobile.

Samaná is one of the best places in the world for humpback whale watching. Get a glimpse of these beautiful and giant marine mammals and hear enchanting whalesong.
