About this document
Overview of Whale Types and Traits by Janel Guluzade is a document available to read on EtoBox.
There are two main types of whales: baleen whales and toothed whales. Baleen whales filter feed by swallowing water and straining out plankton and krill, while toothed whales prey on fish and seals. Both types of whales are large marine mammals, with baleen whales growing even larger than toothed whales and weighing up to 200 tons. Their size and habitat in the oceans make whales unique, as the largest animals living in the sea.
