- For nearly 100 years a pod of around 30 killer whales systematically partnered their human counterparts in hunting the baleen whales that migrated along the East Coast of Australia.
- Right whales are large baleen whales, meaning that instead of teeth they have bonelike plates, which they use to strain food from large gulps of water.
