It is a sensory organ at the tip of their lower jaw with no name yet. Whales use a technique called "lunge feeding" where they suck in tons of water and then filter their food out from the water with their baleen. The sensory organ helps them detect their prey and coordinate the critical timing of the opening and closing of their vast mouths to keep it from escaping.

A whale's sixth sense is its ability to use echolocation to navigate, communicate, and search for food underwater. Echolocation works by emitting sounds and listening to the echoes that bounce back, helping whales to "see" their environment in the dark ocean depths.
