whales are among the rarest of all marine mammal species. North 
Atlantic 
right whales tend to be black with white undersides and lack the typical dorsal 
fin that most whales have. They have large heads, 
broad backs, paddle-like flippers and a curved lower lip resembling a 
frown.  The varying patterns of 
rough patches of skin called callosities found on their bodies are marks of 
identification that aid scientists to track different individuals. Rather than 
teeth, right whales have baleen plates in their mouths. These help the whales to 
filter small zooplankton and krill from the water.  </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.defenders.org/wildlife_and_habitat/wildlife/right_whale.php"><P><STRONG>Act Now</STRONG>
