As we discuss in our latest #whaletalespodcast episode, Fin Whales are one of the few vertebrates that are asymmetrically colored. The right side of their mouth (including their baleen!) is a white/yellow colouration while the left side is a dark colour. The variations of color on the right side are one of the ways individual fin whales are identified!⁠ #whaletalespodcast #finwhale #whaletales #podcast #subscribe #whalepodcast #storytelling #whales #whalesareawesome #finwhales https://www.instagram.com/p/CSHzfPAn4wH/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Fin Whale" Fin Whale is turning in the sea

from @wildestanimal - It's not very often you get lucky enough to be close to the world's 2nd largest animal, but to be in the water with 3 quite relaxed fin whales so close together was a special moment. You can see why they call them the greyhounds of the sea. They are built for effortless speed with their streamlined shape and huge muscular tail which makes up most of their body. They don't get as much attention as the blue whales being 2nd largest, who ever remembers 2nd place, right? Footage was obtained under special permit issued by the regional government of the Azores. #travel #adventure #whale #wildlife #animals #theazores #thebigblue #portugal #ocean #underwatervideo #underwater #finwhale #finbackwhale #sonymirrorless #Sony #sonyaustralia #saveourseas #2ndplace #moments #momentsyouneverforget - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BpLelgiAdlK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f195g5x0my6w
