Minke Whale
The Minke Whale is one of the smallest baleen whales, typically measuring between 23 to 32 feet in length. They are known for their streamlined bodies and distinctive pointed snouts. Minke whales are found in oceans worldwide, often in both coastal and open waters. They primarily feed on small fish and krill, using their baleen plates to filter food from the water.
Minke whales are known for their acrobatic behavior, often breaching and slapping the water with their fins. They are generally solitary or found in small groups, and their populations are considered stable, although they face threats from whaling and ocean pollution. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their habitats and ensure their survival.
