The pygmy right whale, the smallest of the group, kicks off our countdown of the world’s baleen whales. Baleen whales have plates in their mouths to strain food, rather than having teeth to catch larger prey like other whales. The pygmy right whale is the last remaining species of a group of whales previously thought extinct. Not much is known about this small elusive whale.
