Right whales, gray whales, humpback whales, and blue whales are baleen whales, which means that they don't have teeth. They cannot eat large fishes, seals, and sea lions. They only eat plankton.

The right whale is a mammal, so it has hair, not fur. All whales have a very very thin bit of hair on their bodies.
