Ocean Facts About Minke Whales
Northern minke whales are easily recognized by the bright white band across each of their side flippers, a feature absent in southern populations. These sleek baleen whales can swim at impressive speeds when escaping predators or traveling between feeding grounds. They use their expandable throat pleats to gulp massive volumes of seawater filled with small fish and krill.
