- A single fin whale heading south east
- One minke whale traveling west,

The largest animal on the planet, the blue whale, & its relatives feed on some of the smallest animals found in our oceans.

Funky Fin Whale is a blog dedicated to understanding which senses these Giants of the Ocean use to navigate and find their prey.
