The bowhead whale got its name because the high upper jaw looks like a bow. It used to be called the Greenland right whale and the Arctic whale. Its head is also half its body, with its mouth being sixteen feet long. The tongue weighs one ton. The bowhead whale was two blowholes. The color of the whale is black, blue and the lower jaw is white. The bowhead lives in the western Arctic, Canada Arctic (Baffin Bay, Davis Strait), The Okhotsk sea, and to the west by Greenland in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean. Baleen is made into buggy whips, watch springs, skirt hoops, fishing rods, and unbrella ribs. Even though bowhead whales are huge they eat tiny zooplankton. They skim the water with their mouths open and takes in whatever is in their way.
