The Fin whale is number two after the blue whale in terms of weight, size, and body length. The Fin whale or common rorqual or finback whale or herring whale or razorback whale fall under the family Balaenopteridae and also are cosmopolitan species preferring the open ocean and less of an ice pack or small areas of water. The Fin whale is identified by a long, slender body with brownish-grey back and paler underside. Fin whales spot a distinct ridge behind their dorsal fin, paired blowhole, and pointed snout. Additionally, they are filter feeders often traveling in pairs or alone and frequently encountered on whale-watching exercise.
