Minke Whales are the smallest of the baleen whales, recognised for their sleek, streamlined bodies and sharply pointed heads. They measure 7-10 metres (23-33 feet) in length. Unlike some larger whales, Minke Whales are solitary or travel in small groups. Minke Whales are agile swimmers and can often be seen darting gracefully through the water. They feed on small schooling fish and krill using their baleen plates to filter prey. Despite their small size, they are resilient and thrive in diverse marine environments. They can be found in oceans worldwide, from polar to tropical regions. Known for their curiosity, Minke Whales often approach boats, providing whale watchers with up-close encounters.
