OmniTerraImages > A humpback whale's, (Megaptera novaeangliae), slightly open mouth revealing the row of baleen plates hanging from the left side of its upper jaw. Enlarged hair follicles, also known as nodules and stovebolts (by whalers) stick up all over the head of humpbacks. Whiskers can be seen growing from it's lower lip, one of the traits that qualifies whales as mammals.

OmniTerraImages > A North Atlantic humpback whale, (Megaptera novaeangliae), feeds at the surface of Stellwagon Bank National Marine Sanctuary off Massachusetts. This shot shows how the whale's lower jaw unhinges and spreads wide during feeding, allowing an even bigger gulp of fish-filled water to be scooped up. Nodules dapple the top of its upper jaw, and baleen hangs down on the right side.

OmniTerraImages > Two humpback whales, (Megaptera novaeangliae), lunge feed at the surface of the water. The pink roof palette is framed on both sides by the 100s of baleen plates hanging down from the upper jaw. A gull makes off with a pillaged sand lance.
