I'm celebrating world whale day today I've got lots of amazing whales and a
few other sea animals as well
subscribe give a thumbs up if you like whales
can you tell me which is the world's largest
toothed whale so not a baleen whale a whale with
teeth the humpback whale is one of the largest animals on earth
humpback whales are not predatory as they filter food for tiny krill
or small surface fish they are totally harmless to
people like all whales humpbacks are mammals
and give life birth to very large calves
the killer whale calf orcas or killer whales
are one of the world's most powerful predators
they prey on marine mammals such as seals
sea lions whales fish squid and sea birds
the beluga whale made very popular by
finding dory beluga whales are the smallest whale
they live in coastal waters of the arctic ocean
and in the subarctic regions when ice starts to form
the belugas migrates south towards warmer water
the pygmy sperm whale is also a toothed whale it has 10 to 16 teeth in their lower jaw
only it is a bluish gray colour with a
lighter pinkish coloured underbody and here's another killer
whale there's a little trigger underneath that
makes the mouth go up and down which is really great for
catching other fish something that the killer whale is very
good at
the gray whale is a mottled green baleen whale
that often has encrustations of particles on the skin
just like this one very realistic looking
it is commonly found in the coastal waters of the northeastern pacific ocean
I think that's a really nice model
the Blainville's Beaked whale sometimes known as a dense beaked whale
are a species of whale that can be found in deep
warm waters all over the world the Blainville's Beaked whale
has two distinctive horn like teeth that grow from
bulges in the lower jaw and here's one of our
bathtime toys a toy whale the Bowhead whale is also known as the
green land right whale they are found in the cold
waters of the arctic sea they have
dark bluish black skin with white patches on the jaw
belly and tail it does not have a dorsal fin
its jaw is arched and it looks like a bow
its mouth has baleen plates for filtering zooplankton and small fish
the narwhal this medium-sized whale is found in arctic coastal waters and
rivers they have two teeth, in males the more
prominent tooth goes into a sword-like spiral tusk
up to 8.8 feet long or 2.7 meters the females may grow a much
smaller tusk notice there's no dorsal fin
this Sperm whale has conical shaped teeth for catching prey
they have a large brain and the most powerful sonar
which they use to help to find their prey in the dark
deep sea this causes them to have a block shaped head
which makes them easy to recognize they're able to dive to 1 000 meters and
stay down for up to two hours they live in very deep water
the pilot whale is actually a dolphin they have dark gray skin with a grey
area on the belly and an anchor-shaped gray patch on their
chin they live in the deep water and often
form groups or pods of more than 100 members killer whales
hunting groups called pods they work together to target prey and
are able to communicate using various sounds
they can weigh up to six tons and grow to 32
feet or 9.7 meters
the fin whale the second largest animal in the world
it is also known as the razorback due to the grooves and plates
that design their bodies it is a baleen whale
you'll notice that the fin whale features a dorsal fin
and flippers dolphins are very intelligent
and they're often seen playing in the water and even
jumping out of the water they can also ride
waves they like to play fight and occasionally swim with humans
the southern right whale is a baleen whale and has a broad back without a dorsal
fin there are white pectoral fins a long
arching mouth that begins above the eye and small rough patches on the skin
called calicites killer whales or orcas
are the largest of the dolphins and are so easy to recognize by their
distinctive black and white coloring they have long rounded bodies with large
dorsal fins at the middle of their backs their black bodies are marked with white
patches on the underside and near the eyes the beluga whales
are easily recognized by the white skin and rounded forehead
and they have no dorsal fin they like to feed on fish crustaceans and worms
the beluga has a flexible neck the dugong they are related to the
manatees and are similar in appearance and
behavior they graze on underwater grasses day and
night rooting for them with their bristled
sensitive snouts and chomping them with their rough lips
the killer whale will even attack other whales including the enormous
blue whale which can measure over three times their size
they have also been known to breach the surface to grab
sea lions and seals even partially jumping onto ice floes
to reach their prey
the sperm whale is the world's largest toothed whale and unlike the baleen
whales sperm whales are active predators eating
large squid large boney fish and also sharks
sperm whales give birth to only one calf at a time
the mothers form a nursery so they can take turns in finding
food the right whale are the rarest of all large whales there
are several species and all are identified by
enormous heads which can measure up to one third of
their total body length these massive heads and jaws accommodate
hundreds of baleen plates
blue whales are the largest animals to have lived on earth
these magnificent marine mammals can grow up to 30 meters or a hundred feet
long they feed on tiny shrimp like animals
called krill during certain times of the year a
single adult blue whale consumes about four tons of krill a day
they have fringe plates called baleen attached to their upper jaws 🙋🏼‍♀️
