Right whales primarily feed on tiny zooplankton, particularly copepods and other small crustaceans. They use a feeding technique called skimming, where they swim slowly with their mouths open, filtering food from the water through their baleen plates. This method allows them to efficiently consume large quantities of plankton in their nutrient-rich habitats. Their diet is crucial for their energy needs, especially during calving and migration periods.
