They primarily feed on krill, tiny shrimp-like creatures, using their baleen plates to filter vast amounts of water.

They are also known for their incredibly loud and low-frequency vocalisations, used for communication over long distances.

They are baleen whales, meaning they have baleen plates instead of teeth for filtering food.
