The Bowhead Whale is a large baleen whale found primarily in Arctic and sub-Arctic waters. They can grow up to 60 feet long and weigh up to 100 tons. Bowhead whales are known for their distinctive bow-shaped heads and thick blubber, which helps them survive in cold environments. They primarily feed on small organisms like zooplankton by filtering them through their baleen plates. These whales are unique for their long lifespan, often living over 200 years. Bowhead whales are also known for their vocalizations, which they use for communication and navigation. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their populations, as they were historically hunted for their blubber and baleen.
