such asthe baleen whalesthe killer whales
Baleen whales have no teeth but instead have baleen plates with which the whales can filter( 过滤） the food out of the water.
Orcas are highly social animals that travel in groups called pods. Pods usually consist of 5 to 30 whales, and are led by females. Orca pods often work together to catch a meal (fish, squid, birds, and marine mammals).
Killer whales are attacking a baleen whale with whalers waiting by in their boat,harpoon at the ready.
