There are two distinct groups of whales, toothed and baleen whales. The baleen whale is a baleen whale due to its baleen plates in the mouth instead of teeth. The killer whale has teeth which means it chews its food and eats larger animals. The blue whale eats krill and other little organisms floating in the water. The baleen plates allow the whale to take in water and the krill and pushes the water through the plates which hold back the krill and other larger organisms, it then swallows the food that was left behind. This is the main distinction between the two whales.
