The Southern Right Whales are marvelous creatures. Right whales were named by whalers who thought they were the "right" kind of whales to hunt. Since they were loaded in blubber, they were easy to catch and they floated after being killed. The whale's skin is a brown to dark gray with white patches near its mouth. Like the other baleen whales right whales have no dorsal fins.
The heads of these whales are hairier than others. There can be found up to 300 hairs near the tip of the lower jaw and close to 100 on the top. They also have callosities behind the blowhole, on the chin, above the eyes, on the lower lip, and on the rostrum. Callosities themselves are grey; the reason it appears to be white due to large colonies of whale lice around them.
A whale generally has a torpedo shaped body, has fins, a blow hole, and is usually very big
