The Minke whale is one of the smallest baleen whales, typically measuring between 20 to 30 feet in length. It is known for its streamlined body and distinctive pointed snout. 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 swimming quickly. 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.
