Whales are divided into two groups: toothed whales and whalebone whales. The whalebone or baleen whales include the blue whale (largest animal in the world) and the humpback. Whalebone whales vary in length from 50 to 100 feet. Baleen whales do not have teeth, but rather projections of baleen plates that are used to strain plankton from sea water. The Bottlenose whale (Hyperoodon ampullatus) is found in Arctic seas and along North Atlantic Coasts.
