Right whales filter their food using baleen plates, which are made of keratin and hang from their upper jaws. They take in large amounts of water along with tiny prey, such as copepods and krill, and then push the water out through the baleen, trapping the food inside. This feeding method, known as skimming, allows them to efficiently consume large quantities of small organisms while filtering out the seawater.
