A whale is a large marine mammal that belongs to the cetacean family. There are two main types of whales: baleen whales and toothed whales. Baleen whales have a comb-like structure in their mouths called baleen, which they use to filter small organisms such as krill and plankton from the water. Toothed whales, on the other hand, have teeth and hunt larger prey such as fish and squid. Whales are known for their massive size and can range from a few meters to over 30 meters in length.
