Bowhead whales got their name from their distinctive bow-shaped head, which is significantly larger and more pronounced than that of other whale species. This unique head structure helps them break through ice while feeding on zooplankton in Arctic waters. The term "bowhead" is derived from the old English word "bowe," meaning "to bend," reflecting the shape of their heads.
