This minke whale is a typical baleen whale.
Baleen whales are generally solitary animals.
This Atlantic white-sided dolphin is similar to many of the other dolphin species, all of which are toothed whales. Toothed whales feed on fish and squid. Some species of whales can be individually identified by differences in the natural markings found on their bodies. Thanks to the access provided by the Dolphin Fleet, scientists from the Center for Coastal Studies have been able to follow many of these whales throughout their lives. Late in the year, humpbacks migrate to the waters of the West Indies where they mate and bear their calves.
