Most whales eat by sucking in a massive mouthful of water and then spitting it back out without opening their mouths properly. Bony plates called baleen at the front of the mouth strain out food as the water passes back out of the whale's mouth. The whale then swallows all the food (krill, shrimp etc.) that was in the water it sucked in, without swallowing the water.
