Baleen whales eat krill, zooplankton and small fish swarming in large schools. Because baleen whales have no teeth, they are believed to uses their enormous tongue to move food trapped inside the baleen, to squeeze water out of the mouth, and to assist the action of swallowing.
A baleen whale is not a producer; it is a herbivore. Baleen whales primarily feed on plankton and small fish by filter feeding using baleen plates in their mouths to trap food particles.
Baleen is a filter-feeding system made of keratin found in certain whale species, particularly in the mouths of baleen whales. It is used to filter and trap small prey, such as krill, while allowing water to pass through.
The killer whale is a toothed whale, not a baleen whale. Killer whales have a diverse diet that includes fish, seals, and even other whales, and they use their teeth to catch and consume their prey.
Order Cetacea is organized into two suborders: Mysticeti (baleen whales) and Odontoceti (toothed whales). Mysticeti includes whales that filter feed using baleen plates, while Odontoceti includes whales with teeth for hunting. Each suborder further divides into families, genera, and species based on specific anatomical and genetic characteristics.
A baleen whale must filter out approximately 2,000 pounds of water to gain about 3 grams of body weight while feeding on small plankton and krill. This process involves taking in a large volume of water and then using baleen plates in their mouths to filter out food particles.
Baleen is the filter system baleen whales use to feed on microscopic organisms.
Baleen whales, or Mysticetes, are filter feeders. They suck in water and strain it to get the tiny animals, which they then swallow. The baleen acts like a strainer or seize to trap these planktors.
a baleen whale
No. At least, not on purpose. The whale shark feeds on plankton, as do baleen whales.
Definition for Baleen Whale: Any whale that has baleen or is a odontocetes whale.So, they are not technically same thing, but a blue whale is a type of baleen or odontocetes whale. This is because other whales have baleen, such as the Right Whale.

they have baleen.
yes it is a baleen whale
they are teeth not Baleen whales
I believe it is an Arctic baleen.
