| On occasion we get exceptional looks at young animals. Here a finback whale calf is underwater, with the right flipper behind the head of the man, lightly colored right jaw moving to the right. |
Starting to exhale as it surfaces, you can see the characteristic creamy white lower jaw of this species. |

| Finback whales, referred to by some as 'greyhounds of the sea,' have very streamline bodies, for reduced drag. |
Too fast for early whale hunters, they were hunted in great numbers in the 20th century by modern catcher-ships. |
