There are two kinds of whales,
if you know what I mean,
There's whales with teeth,
and whales with baleen.

Toothed whales come in different sizes,
There's some you know and some surprises,

Of all the toothed whales, the largest by far,
Has to be the spearm whale - What a Star!

The narwhal looks like a unicorn,
It has one long tooth shaped just like a horn.

Dolphins are toothed whales,
we're not trying to fool ya,
So are porpoises, pilot whales, and belugas.

The most famous toothed whale is easy to tell,
It's Shamu and all the other killer whales.

Baleen whales look a little off kilter,
Just because they eat with a filter.

They're the largest of whales but they get their fill,
By feeding on tiny creatures called krill.

Blue whales, right whales, grays and humpbacks, and the rest of the baleen brood.
They're all gigantic, no doubt about it,
But none of them can chew their food!

You want to be a giant without teeth to clean?
Then you want to be a whale that eats with baleen.

Oh Yeah, Whales, They're Big, Uh-huh!
