world whale jump 😂
Its length is 13 meters for the male and around 20 meters for the female. They are born measuring 1 to 3 meters from the trunk to the tail. Its weight ranges from 20 tons (adult weight).
Calluses can be observed, which are raised areas of skin more than approximately 18 cm thick, of a horny consistency, located in different parts of the head. The distribution, dimension and shape of the calluses vary from one whale to another but do not change with growth. Functioning like fingerprints, they identify each animal throughout its life. These calluses, developed in the fetal stage and dark gray in color, have dense populations of small amphipod crustaceans called cyamids (Cyamidae, whale lice) and are sometimes interspersed with cirripeds that make the calluses look white, yellow, orange . or light pink. Normally, they are distributed along the upper margin of the lower lip, jaw, dorsal surface of the face and over the eyes. The most important callus due to its size is the "bonnet", located at the tip of the snout.
